Man, that catch in the end zone at about 3:03 with the DB hanging all over him ... great contested catch. Hoping he can make the team as a special teams ace and move up from there.
If he stays at WR, he’d make a heck of a blocker on the edge and down the field on running plays.
Better yet a WR blocker on bubble screens and jet sweeps - to say some super small yet super fast WR. Imagine Peters taking him on - he’d run off the field

Woods will turn thirty after this year. Kupp will become twenty-eight, I believe, but he's only signed for two years after this year; Woods is re-signed a year longer.
I asked the same question, I guess it won’t be answered for a couple of years until Woods, Kupp and Higbee actually all turn 30
Yarbs cracks me up man. Feels like he's been wanting more size at WR too. Remember how pumped he was about Reynolds?
But I don't think he separates enough to be a primary wideout on this team. Maybe Woody and Kupp can help him get that route running a little smoother and fix that idk. But it does seem like he'll end up at TE. If he's making his living around the LOS it means he's a big weapon who can get lost and smoke some LBs and safeties one on one.

It will be interesting to see how McVay and Co. Decide to use him. He could become a jackknife with a lot of motion. He could be on the move on many plays. From WR to Slot to H Back. His willingness and blocking ability make him a offensive joker.

I'm not surprised by this. I think he could be our version of Kyle Juszczyk; a fullback who can impact the game with blocking and offensive production (Juszczyk being a far superior athlete, but Skowronek could be a better receiver out of the backfield.)

It will be interesting to see how they use Benny Sko over the long run. I think he's primarily a STs player this year. But give him a year to polish his route running and blocking technique and he has the potential to be that lead blocker they want next year. Also, he would make a very nice addition as a possession receiver for Stafford. With the WRs the Rams have they will begin to see a lot of zone coverages especially next year when Tutu & Harris make their speed felt. Benny is versatile enough to be a lead blocker and possession receiver against zone coverages. As the film shows he isn't afraid to make those contested catches, something Reynolds never really mastered.
In the long run, I can see Benny Sko as a good rotational receiver who can block on early-down runs or be a factor on early-down play action. I can see Jefferson eventually taking over for Woods, and Tutu becoming that Jackson like slot receiver.

Why would you say that? Skowronek is faster, hits as hard and can separate from defenders, and the height to win contested balls. Juszcyk is a nice player, but he's a FB, plain and simple. Probably can win in the weight room, but that's not athletics
I can’t wait to see preseason. I feel like everything is all roses with every draftee, and that’s unrealistic.
