Dillon Bell 2026 NFL Draft Scouting for Minnesota Vikings WR

The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly signed Georgia WR Dillon Bell as an undrafted rookie free agent, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Dillon Bell is a sturdy, versatile matchup-wide receiver prospect. His game is predicated on making plays in space. His limited receiving production will place more onus on his ability to make his mark on special teams.

Bell enrolled at Georgia as a former 3-star recruit in the 2022 class. He has played in 56 games in college. Bell never produced at a high-level during his four years with the Bulldogs. Primarily used as a versatile threat, but there's developmental receiving ability to work with.
