Brian Callahan hire impacts hot topic regarding Titans’ Peter Skoronski

 When the Tennessee Titans drafted Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski with the 11th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, General Manager Ran Carthon was ecstatic.

Skoronski is what Carthon referred to on multiple occasions as a “blue chip” player. Someone he believed would have a significant impact on the Titans’ offensive line regardless of the position he was playing.

It appears newly hired Titans head coach Brian Callahan felt that way too, and Callahan becoming the HC in Tennessee looks like it will have an impact on a hot topic regarding Skoronski’s future.

Skoronski as a guard

Back in April of 2023 leading up to the NFL Draft, Callahan appeared in the Locked On Bengals Podcast to discuss draft prospects. During the interview, Callahan mentioned Skoronski as probably being the best offensive lineman in the draft class. Callahan also said he viewed Skoronski as a guard at the next level.

"It's going to be weird because I think the tackle class is different than the last couple years because there's not the high-end , surefire, Top 10 style tackles in this draft. There just isn't. [There are] good players and guys that are going to play for a long time, but the best lineman is still probably a guard and that's the kid from Northwestern," said Callahan when looking at the crop of offensive linemen entering the NFL Draft. While Callahan was down on the tackles in the class, he was bullish on the interior offensive linemen.
