Skyler Bell I have in my top five... you look at the speed, you look at the explosion, his ability to make these difficult contested catches... he has to make this curvilinear move that was so tight of a bend that he had to balance touch through it. I had never seen anybody bend an angle that tight at high speed in my life... he's a serial clap attacker... he only had four drops this year, or maybe four career drops, something like that... he's in my opinion, he's a late first round, early second round player.
STACKED’s take
Top-five RB prospect with elite athleticism; clap-attack risk despite low drop rate.
Brandon Angelo ranks Skyler Bell in his top five running backs in the class. Angelo emphasizes Bell's speed, explosion, and ability to make difficult contested catches. He highlights a specific curvilinear move at Boston College where Bell executed an exceptionally tight-angle cut at high speed with perfect balance, describing it as potentially the most memorable play from the entire draft class he studied. Angelo and Matt Waldman both place Bell in the late first round to early second round tier, reflecting confidence in his overall skill set. However, Angelo identifies Bell as a serial clap attacker—a receiver who uses a palm-based catching technique rather than fingertip-based technique. While this technique typically correlates with drops due to the rigid palm creating violent recoil, Bell has only four career drops despite his preference for clap attacking, suggesting he can execute the technique effectively despite the mechanical risk. Angelo notes this creates a projection question: whether the technique will become magnified as a problem in the NFL despite Bell's current success with it.
