Undrafted Rookie Skinner Shines with One-Handed TD Catch for Jets
17 Aug
Summary
- Undrafted rookie Quentin Skinner impresses with 4 catches, 46 yards, and 1 TD
- Former KU QB Jason Bean sees first snaps for Colts, but faces uphill battle for roster spot
- Skinner's size and ability to win one-on-one matchups make him an enticing option for Jets
In the latest preseason action, undrafted rookie Quentin Skinner of the New York Jets has further solidified his case for a roster spot. Just a week after impressing with a 26-yard reception in his NFL debut, Skinner followed up with an even stronger performance, catching 4 passes for 46 yards and his first professional touchdown.
Skinner's standout play included a highlight-reel one-handed touchdown grab, showcasing his impressive size and ability to win one-on-one matchups against opposing defensive backs. While it's still the preseason, the 6-foot-5 receiver has proven to be a valuable asset for the Jets, who are looking to bolster their receiving corps.
Elsewhere, former Kansas quarterback Jason Bean also saw his first game action for the Indianapolis Colts, completing 3 of 7 pass attempts for 37 yards. However, Bean faces an uphill battle to secure a roster spot, as rookie Riley Leonard has outperformed him in the preseason. Bean's best chance of sticking with the Colts may be through the practice squad, though he could also draw interest from other NFL teams or the United Football League.
