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.
Bears just stole Tyler Scott

#Bears draft Cincinnati WR Tyler Scott at No. 133.
We had him at No. 44 (!) on the @CHGO_Bears 100.
My notes: "Changes gear easily. Deep ball catcher, which would be very intriguing with Justin Fields. Tracks the ball downfield very well. Durable and a great gunner on punt."

LOVE what the Bears have done.
Scott averaged 44.6 yards per TD catch in college. Big play threat. https://t.co/5I6S26UZTa

The #Bears really just got Tyler Scott out of Cincy at this point in the 4th round.
Such an explosive playmaker at WR who I had felt could be a Day 2 selection. And now Justin Fields gets a fantastic weapon.
I just know @jacobinfante24 is doing cartwheels right now.

Tyler Scott looks like he smashed the Lincoln Way East record book then casually won a couple states titles in the 200m hurdles. The kinda guy that drove a used Camaro to Don Beebe speed camps. Just a perfect fit for the Chicago Bears even if none of this is true

#Bears Tyler Scott is a big-play artist with return skills who has legitimate receiver potential if he can either curtail his attack of targets or prove he's the next Terry McLaurin. @wasram

#Bears add a speedy WR in Tyler Scott, who will stretch defenses and has exciting ball skills to make plays after the catch.
Play. Maker. 10 of his 14 career TDs came from 30+ yards.

HOLY CRAP. Tyler Scott was my offensive Draft Gem just 2 weeks ago…

I had Tyler Scott as a late 3rd round talent and did see some Mooney type flashes in his game. A good value pick for the Bears. Like adding a RB and WR in round 4. Really want them to get a center and edge rusher now. #NFLDraft

Scott has 4.40 speed and can jump out of the building. Pure slot who can make big plays.

Tyler Scott… In case Mooney asking price is more than we’re willing to pay.. Tyler Scott can be his replacement kid can run every route in the route tree & can flat out fly 🏃🏾♂️💨 ‼️ 🧸⬇️

I can get behind a player named Tyler. 😉
Jokes aside, I like seeing WR addressed, and I like that it's a speed guy like Tyler Scott. #Bears

Tyler Scott is incredible value for the #Bears in round five. Some thought he could go early on day two. Keep adding weapons for the offense.

Tyler Scott would have been a great pick at 53

The #Bears got Tyler Scott to add to their group of weapons!
Love the Cincinnati WR. He’s an absolute speedster who I think should’ve gone Day 2.

Bears that was an A+ pick in the fourth
