The Chicago Bears selected Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott with the 133rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
An Olympic-level speedster, this wide receiver adds an immediate vertical threat to the Bears’ offense. He’s still raw as a wide receiver and needs to add size, but he can contribute immediately on special teams.
Here’s a quick scouting report on Scott:
Vitals
Position: WR
Age: 21
School: Cincinnati
Measurables: 5-foot-10, 177 pounds
Strengths
- Elite speed: 4.39 40-yard dash.
- Great quickness and can create yards after the catch in space.
- Good ball tracking, which makes him a vertical threat for any offense.
Weaknesses
- Size: lacks mass and strength to fight through press coverage.
- Former running back still learning how to run routes like a pro.
- One dimensional right now as a route runner.
Fit with Bears
Scott immediately becomes the fastest wide receiver on the offense and provides a vertical threat that can take the top off defenses. He also has a great opportunity to contribute immediately as a punt and kick returner.
