Caden Bell brings dual-threat upside to Columbia’s QB room
Caden Bell’s 2023 season showed a useful dual-threat profile: he started five of seven games for Columbia, threw for 594 yards and 2 touchdowns, and added 4 rushing scores, which makes him more than a pure pocket passer.[3] His value is in adding quarterback-run stress and red-zone versatility, but his current production suggests he is still developing as a consistent downfield thrower rather than an established high-volume passer.[3][4] He is a fit for teams that want mobility, creativity, and a QB who can manufacture offense when the pocket breaks down.[3][5]
