Sklyer saw action as a true freshman when current New Orleans Saints’ receiver Devery Henderson suffered a broken arm against Ole Miss. He finished his freshman season with 7 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown. He also carried the ball 3 times for 28 yards on the year.

He also had career highs in receptions (48), receiving yards (519) and receiving touchdowns (5). Skyler was named first team all-American for his play as a return specialist that season.

Skyler Green has a great deal of experience against top competition having played in the SEC the past four years. He possesses a great combination of speed and athleticism for a receiver. He is extremely quick off the line and has the speed to beat most defenders deep. He has great hands and does a good job of adjusting to the ball while it is in the air. Once he has the ball in his hands, he is very elusive in the open field and is a threat to take it the distance at any time. He has also been one of the most dangerous return men in the nation over the past few seasons. Skyler lacks ideal height for a receiver, but he has very good strength for a player his size. He needs to improve his blocking to become a more complete receiver at the next level. Skyler Green is a player who can step in from day one as a return specialist and possibly as a slot receiver as well. He could be selected as high as the third or fourth round in April.
