The obvious weakness/short-coming to Skyy's skills is the inability to decipher zone. JJSS is a vet WR and understands how to sit down or otherwise beat zone concepts. Skyy just hasn't shown a real understanding of where the soft spots are, yet. I still think he will, it's just taking longer than I anticipated. That, and he's apparently coming from a lower experience level in that regard than I thought.
I don't know if he has 'elite' hands, but he's a pretty good catcher of the football, and he snatches the ball out of the air. As for his athleticism, well, just look at those clips above; at least half or more of his yards are coming in the form of YAC; he can make people miss, break tackles and move the chains.
Does any of that equate to elite? mmmm, probably not. is he probably a better athlete than Edelman was? in some respects probably. And Edelman carved out a near HOF career for himself without a lot of elite skills. A great football IQ and good hands was really the extent of it.
