PETER SKORONSKI (GUARD)
In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected offensive lineman Peter Skoronski as first round pick. The grandson of Green Bay Packers legend and military hero, Bob Skoronski, Peter grew up with a deep love of the game, but also an unwavering passion and admiration for military service. Knowing the NFL Draft was a dream come true both he and his grandfather shared, he opted to leverage the Draft stage as a platform to honor his legacy and celebrate our military. During the week of the 2023 NFL Draft, Peter partnered with USAA to participate in several activations at Whiteman Air Force Base. He rode along in an Army National Guard Black Hawk Helicopter, took a tour of several U.S. Air Force warplanes and held a meet and greet for military personnel on base to sign autographs and interact with service members and their families. He credited his grandfather during this experience who played in the NFL for Vince Lombardi and served in the Air Force. During training camp this year, Chapter 38 of the Special Forces Association was surprised by Peter and Academy Sports with a visit to the Titans practice facility to observe training camp. He took the time to greet the members of Chapter 38 and made a personal connection with the group before surprising them with tickets to the Titans vs. Patriots preseason game.
