Why Dillon Bell and Elijah Williams Could Shine for the Vikings in 2026 | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

from Vikings 1st & SKOL: A Minnesota Vikings podcast · host FFSN

Vikings Sleepers: UDFA WR Dillon Bell, DL Elijah Williams, and Supplemental QB Brendan Sorsby — Tyler Forness and producer Dave avoid the Vikings’ quarterback battle and instead highlight two potential surprise impact players: UDFA Georgia WR Dillon Bell and defensive lineman Elijah Williams. Forness details Bell’s background in Houston, his desire to open a homeless shelter, and his on-field fit as a physical, versatile receiver with wildcat experience, strong blocking, and red-zone value, while noting he must refine route-breaking footwork; they compare his possible role to bigger-framed WRs like Cooper Kupp/Puka Nacua and discuss him challenging Tai Felton for a roster spot. On defense, Forness breaks down Williams’ flashes, technique, and added weight as he competes for early starting reps ahead of rookie Caleb Banks. They also discuss QB Brendan Sorsby entering the supplemental draft after an NCAA gambling suspension, his mechanical concerns, draft-pick cost, and why Minnesota should only bid late unless moving on from J.J. McCarthy. 00:00 No More QB Talk 01:06 Show Intro and Setup 02:30 Meet Dillon Bell 05:05 Bell Skillset and Role 07:41 Red Zone Physicality 09:34 Fixing Route Running 14:31 Roster Path and Comparisons 19:42 Skis Idiom and Discord Plug 23:13 Switch to Elijah Williams 26:11 Williams Tape Highlights 27:17 Weight Gain Questions 28:21 Technique And Upside 28:52 Starter Debate Vs Banks 31:56 UDFA And Late Pick Wins 34:46 Training Camp Watchlist 35:23 Sorsby Supplemental Draft 37:45 Gambling And Mechanics Risks 40:24 Vikings QB Timeline Dilemma 43:55 Roster And Trade Scenarios 47:15 Pro Day And Draft Odds 48:21 Show Wrap And Sign Off _______________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/_zzJbzZmvp0 Fan With Us!!!
