What the Bears are getting in WR Tyler Scott

The Bears landed a speedster in WR Tyler Scott in the fourth round of the NFL draft. We break down the selection:

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:

4 things to know about new Bears WR Tyler Scott

From his pro comparison to his versatility, here are a few things to know about new Bears receiver Tyler Scott.

The playmakers keep coming for the Chicago Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft. Shortly after their selection of running back Roschon Johnson, the Bears added a weapon for quarterback Justin Fields when they drafted Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott with the No. 133 pick.

Scott has top-end speed as a receiver and can take the top off a defense while also having the ability to be a dynamic playmaker when the ball is in his hands. He caught 54 passes for 899 receiving yards and five touchdowns during his final season with the Bearcats and gives Fields a new weapon to work with in a revamped wide receiver room.

Here are a few things to know about Scott and what he brings to the Bears.

Tyler Scott says he wanted to end up with the Bears all along

The newest Bears wide receiver is thrilled to have been drafted by Chicago.

Years ago, former Chicago Bears wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad once famously said Chicago “is where wide receivers go to die.” Don’t tell that to Tyler Scott though because he won’t listen to any of that negativity.

The Bears selected Scott with the No. 133 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, giving the team a speedy weapon at the receiver position. General manager Ryan Poles was clearly enamored with Scott and it seems the feeling was mutual.

After getting drafted, Scott posted the video of his reaction upon hearing the news with his family and said Chicago was always where he wanted to be. “EXACTLY who I wanted to draft me all along!!” Scott wrote in his tweet while tagging his new quarterback. “Time to get to work Justin Fields #DaBears #ChildofGod.”

Scott was overwhelmed by the news and got emotional as the former Bearcat put on his new Bears hat. Scott was sensational in 2022, catching 54 passes for 899 yards and nine touchdowns. He joins an overhauled wide receiver room that features D.J. Moore, Darnell Mooney, and Chase Claypool as the top options.

The Bears have done a phenomenal job of finding weapons and support for Fields this offseason and Scott is the latest example of that. It’s only a matter of time before these two get on the field together and make big plays.

Twitter reacts to the Bears’ selection of WR Tyler Scott

Bears fans can’t stop smiling after the selection of wide receiver Tyler Scott.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles continues to find weapons for quarterback Justin Fields and the passing attack. The Bears selected Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott with the No. 133 pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He’s the second skill player to be taken in the fourth round, following Texas running back Roschon Johnson who was selected with pick No. 115.

Scott is a speedster who can get behind the defense and make things happen with the ball in his hands. He had 54 receptions for 899 yards and nine touchdowns for the Bearcats in 2022. He joins an overhauled wide receiver corps that includes D.J. Moore, Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Velus Jones Jr.

The Bears have committed to helping Fields out with picks on the offensive line, running back, and now wide receiver. Twitter loves what Poles is doing so far on Day 3.

2023 NFL Draft: Best value picks in the fourth round

NFL teams got all kinds of prospect value in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft, and here are the best fourth-round value picks.

You wanna tell me that players selected in the fourth round can’t ball in the NFL?

In recent years, Kirk Cousins, Geno Atkins, David Bakhtiari, Dak Prescott, K.J. Wright, De’Vondre Campbell, and Za’Darius Smith are among those who would vehemently disagree with you.

Throughout pro football history, there’s Charles Haley, John Stallworth, Steve Largent, and Cliff Branch who would be happy to show you their gold jackets. (R.I.P., Mr. Branch).

So, the guys selected in the first round of the third day of the 2023 draft have every opportunity to stick it in the faces of all the teams who passed them by in the first three rounds.

As they say, all it takes is one team, and here are the best value picks in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft.
