During his NFL Combine interview, LSU WR Skyler Green said the St. Louis Rams have talked to him about being their return man.

any stats on this kid? where is he also projected?

Skyler Green is very much in that Steve Smith mold. Undersized at 5'10" and 185 pounds, but quite fast. Really did some nice things as a return man in college, named SEC Special Teams PotY. But I'm really not sure how wise it is to draft a guy at a position of strength (WR) just for his return skills. I think Green is a Day Two prospect right now, probably a fourth or fifth round guy. Dynamic player who, after the kind of seasons that Smith and Moss had, will probably get more looks than he regularly would.

Some come 4th Round it would be wise to take him for a return man and for a back up WR? Because if he is anything like steve smith I would love to have him!

I think we have bigger places we could address than a WR/return specialist in the fourth round.

If Kevin Curtis walks, this guy could very much fit the mold of an Az-Hakim type player.

Could he develop into a steve smith?

He could, but I dunno how likely it is. Every player could develop into superstars, but many of them don't. I wouldn't get too high on a guy because of what he could develop into.

He's a poor man's Tyrone Prothro.

We do need a return man, but I'm more hopeful we can find one on the current roster than in the fourth round. I've never understood why Groce hasn't gotten a legitimate shot at returning kicks.
