While he certainly had his struggles, Tennessee Titans 2023 first-round pick and left guard Peter Skoronski showed enough in his first campaign to give hope that he’ll be a good player.
But he apparently showed a lot more than that to some around the NFL. In a recent article from ESPN that ranked the top-10 interior offensive linemen in the league based on the opinions of scouts, coaches and executives, Skoronski landed in the “also receiving votes” section.
That means there was at least one scout, coach or executive who thinks the Northwestern product is already a top-10 interior offensive lineman in the NFL after just one season, although one has to wonder if the vote or votes Skoronski received were from a member of the Titans.
Assuming it wasn’t a homer vote, that’s quite the compliment for the 22-year-old, who surrendered five sacks and 32 total pressures in 521 pass-block snaps last season.
There are plenty of reasons for optimism with Skoronski aside from the flashes he showed. He now has a year under his belt at a position that was new to him in 2023, he’s added more to his frame, and he won’t have to overcome an appendectomy during the season.
Skoronski wasn’t the only Titan mentioned in the article, though, as center Lloyd Cushenberry made the honorable mentions section.
“Athletic, versatile, can do a lot with,” said an NFL coordinator. “He’ll give Tennessee flexibility up front.”
