Yes, I agree he couldn’t put on weight.
I think he’s still 230lbs as of this post. It wasn’t for lack of effort, but the kid is an ectomorph to the “T”.
My issue is with his decline (or lack of development) in the hands department. An experienced TE Coach would see the slide in confidence and performance and give the kid drills to do.
That didn’t happen.
This is why I’m not a fan of Woodiel. TE today is not what it was even 10yrs ago. It’s a position that requires a ton of development because you have to get WR and OL skill to be effective.
To be clear, I don’t think Skinner belonged on the field because of the lack of physicality. My concern is the rapid decline in his ability to even catch a ball. When he was in there, it looked like he was trying to slam his hands together like two skillets
