Bills Nab Ex-Jet Skinner: A Playmaker Joins Buffalo
15 Jul
Summary
- Quentin Skinner was claimed off waivers from the Jets by the Buffalo Bills.
- He was the last player to score in the old Highmark Stadium.
- Skinner described himself as a versatile playmaker on the field.
The Buffalo Bills have added wide receiver Quentin Skinner to their roster just weeks before training camp begins. Skinner, 24, was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets after being released from their injured reserve.
Skinner made a unique mark in NFL history by becoming the final player to score points in the old Highmark Stadium. This occurred during his NFL debut in Week 18 of last season, where he caught a 10-yard pass and converted a two-point conversion against the Bills themselves.
During his time with the Jets, Skinner was noted as a training camp favorite, impressing with his performance in preseason games. He described his own playing style as that of a "playmaker," highlighting his versatility in route running, catching contested balls, speed, and physicality, including blocking.
While making Buffalo's 53-man roster may present a challenge, Skinner could potentially secure a practice squad position if he demonstrates his ability to make significant plays downfield during the upcoming training camp.
