Skyler is lucky to be at LSU bc there are a lot of people that can be great returners. LSU is a big name school so he might get looked at first. People need to understand the diffdrence between big time college football and average college football.The difference is the O-line and D-line. They have all kinds of athletes out there that are great kick/punt returners that are in smaller colleges. If you go to a big time college everybody knows you just like most of you know the Kick/Punt returner for Miami (Hester). The pro scouts know the Greens, and the Hesters of college football and they also know the the no name players at the small schools. Is Skyler going to be a good pro, I say he will make a roster, but hes not even the best receiver on the LSU team. Skyler has pretty much maxed out his potential, whereas a player like D-Bowe still has learning to do and can improve his game. Yeah, I think he will make a team. Good pro... I hope so
He will make his money just like Tim Dwight has for the last 100 years. Returning kicks/punts and catching 25-30 balls a year from the four spot.
Size has nothing to do with it. Michael Lewis got jammed so much because he lifted weights for the first time in his life after his first season with the Saints. He didn't play ball in H.S. or College. Sky is damn strong and will have no problems getting off te line. What he will have problems with is getting someone to believe in his abilities as a receiver. IMO, he has already been typecast as a return guy. I don't expect that he will ever be the "go-to" guy (because Steve Smith only comes around once a decade) but I think he will have a very productive career in the mold of Kevin Faulk. Sky isn't too big for his britches which means that coaches will love him and make sure there is always a spot on their team for him. Guys like him always get a roster spot just because of their speed.
I think Sky can be a heck of a slot/#3 WR. He's shifty, fast and elusive---kinda like a much, much better Az Hakim. So, it kind of depends who drafts him. He'll definitely stick, kind of like Randel El, because he's versatile (good on ST).
atlanta can use him, tampa can use him, chicago, green bay would be thrilled to have him. dallas, nyg-burress, toomer, green, and shockley... watch out. philly always needs receivers. I dont see san diego taking much skill position offense in the draft. oakland would line him up in the slot with moss doubled and porter sometimes drawing a double. baltimore needs playmakers, jacksonville can use a slot guy, buffalo, miami, nyj(chrebet quit) all of those guys can use him... but unless he has a monster offseason... look for him in the 6th round.
I think he could do a good job in the return game for a team. But I doubt someone will take him just for that. They will want someone who can play receiver too. And the last two years he has not been able to show many skills in that area. Stats I found for this year were 32 receptions averaging 8.14 yards and no TD's. Not sure if those are right. But I can't remember but a couple of downfield passes caught this year. Just the bubble screens. I hope someone gives him a chance and he impresses.
