Their games are in no way similar. But, the receiver group is losing Claypool and Finke, and the incumbents are a bunch of juniors and other underclassmen. Javon McKinley might be back, but he's not really a leader type.
Skowronek has over 100 career catches, plus he was voted captain last season. Just from a leadership standpoint it's a good addition. We'll see if he finds a role on the field.
