The rookie wideout joins 39 elite prospects at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, securing a head start on his pro career while eyeing a wide-open Buffalo depth chart.
He's only been a member of the Buffalo Bills for a little over a week, but rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell is already representing the team at a league event.
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has announced the list of players attending the annual Rookie Premiere. Each season, 40 of the league's newest players are invited to the event, and Bell was chosen as the only member of the Bills' 2026 draft class.
According to the NFLPA, the Rookie Premiere helps rookies by "creating one-of-a-kind opportunities for brands looking to build player-driven product and campaigns with the next faces of the sport."
Since it began in 1993, the event "has served as players’ first marketing opportunity as a pro, creating partnership opportunities and genuine relationships that extend well beyond their introduction to the league."
In addition to Bell, 39 other players were invited to the event. You can check out who else from the league is attending via NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Bell, the 125th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, comes to Buffalo with a belief by many that he'll get significant playing time as a rookie. He joins a wide receiver locker room that includes DJ Moore, Joshua Palmer, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, and Mecole Hardman Jr., among others. Outside of Moore and Shakir, however, the Bills depth chart at the position is still up in the air.
Palmer struggled to stay healthy last season, with an ankle injury causing him to miss significant time. For Coleman, his issues have been well documented. And though the team continues to preach belief in him, until it's shown with action, nothing is set in stone.
That means Bell will have every opportunity to get on the field and get touches as a rookie.
The NFLPA Rookie Premiere takes place May 14-17 in Los Angeles. Before that, however, Bell will be on the field for the Bills at rookie minicamp on May 8-9 in Orchard Park.
