hurdles. He was pre combine, played for the 49ers in the early 80's. He would drop screen passes, he wasn't much of a route runner and could not start and stop very well either. He averaged about 250 yards a year receiving and
when the 49ers drafted Jerry Rice, Skeets was cut and went back to running track. If they kept the dropped pass statistic, Skeets would be the all time leader in highest dropped percentage.
