Pete Posted July 14 Author Posted July 14 (edited) https://sportstalk.substack.com/p/quentin-skinner-kansas-2025-nfl-draft Pros: Special teams experience on the kick return, kick coverage, punt return, and punt coverage units, experience operating out wide and in the slot, rarely drops the ball, lateral agility and explosiveness help evade punches vs. press coverage, surprising juice off the line, long strides eat up space quickly, explosive long-strider who can stretch defenses vertically, acceleration to overtake off-man defenders, fear his deep speed if he's given a free release, uses hesitation moves to try and lull defenders near the LOS, takes what DBs give him underneath, works across the corner’s face mid-route, long arms expand his wide catch radius, good leaping ability, massive catch radius, taps/drags toes for sideline grabs, advanced awareness and body control for sideline grabs, dives to catch throws that come up short, some incredible concentration grabs in 2023, strong hands to maintain catches through contact, when he makes catches in stride he has the speed to generate massive YAC, willing blocker Cons: Rail-thin frame, some false steps in release, play strength is a concern vs. press coverage, hip sink at the stem’s peak varies, many steps and large turn radius on intermediate comebacks and curls, does not separate on routes that require him to work back down the stem, sometimes drifts into zone coverage, out-physicaled at the catch point occasionally, frame lacks mass to effectively shield ball at the catch point, doesn’t meet the ball at its apex consistently, doesn’t survive contact often, normal hits look painful with his frame, stop-start speed leads to him getting caught from behind, not twitchy or elusive after the catch, willing blocker but frame and play strength create limitations, doesn’t sustain blocks for long Overview: Skinner has more than 250 career special teams snaps split between the kick return, kick coverage, punt return, and punt coverage units. He primarily aligns out wide for Kansas’ offense but also has experience taking snaps in the slot. Skinner’s frame is rail-thin, but he makes up for this physical limitation with impressive speed and explosiveness. He deals with some false steps in his release but explodes off the line before using his long strides to cover ground quickly. Skinner’s play strength is a concern against press coverage, but he has the lateral agility to evade punches. Defenders that miss their opportunity to press him will be stacked since Skinner has the speed to dust press corners or overtake off-man defenders. His field-stretching speed at his height is unique Edited July 14 by Pete This move put Sherfield on notice 6 Quote
TheBrownBear Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) Camp fodder and potential placeholder for Tyrell Shavers role. Appears to be a big play threat. Edited July 14 by TheBrownBear 1 Quote

Kirby Jackson Posted July 14 Posted July 14 He’s a body. Guys 23-53 on the Bills have generally been as good as any other team 23-53. Maybe he has a role there. Quote
BillyJoeBills Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Jets just waived him; definitely didnt sign him to acquire Jets intel since we always stomp on them anyway. Damn; if you get released by the Jets, what kind of NFL future do you have? 1 Quote
