Peter Skoronski

PRO: The Titans selected Northwestern's Peter Skoronski with the 11th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4-inch, 313-pound offensive lineman brings outstanding technique, athleticism and physicality to his position. While he was a three-year starter at left tackle, he possesses the versatility to move inside to guard. A native of Park Ridge, Ill., Skoronski did not miss a game or a start in his three seasons at Northwestern, appearing in 33 contests at left tackle. Among all offensive linemen at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, he placed second in the vertical jump (34.50 inches), second in the broad jump (9 feet 7 inches), fifth in the bench press (30 reps) and ninth in the 10-yard split (1.75 seconds). He became Northwestern's highest draft selection since guard Chris Hinton went to Denver with the fourth pick in 1983, and he was the 11th player in program history to be picked in the first round.
