Fun fact about Dan Skipper - he blocked 7 FG Attempts over his college career. Picture him and David Irving in the middle on the FG defense team.
This is his writeup from Brugler -
SUMMARY: A former three-star recruit, Skipper originally committed to Tennessee before flipping to Arkansas. He started his career as a back-up before moving into the starting line-up as a true freshman and starting the next 47 games of his Hogs’ career. After starting the final eight games at left guard in 2013, Skipper moved to left tackle as a sophomore, right tackle as a junior and back to the left side as a senior. He is unusually long-legged and tall for the position, which often works against him due to poor knee bend and body leverage. Skipper has enough foot speed and smarts for the NFL, but he has trouble protecting his chest and once defenders get inside his frame, he has zero chance of resetting his anchor. He blocked seven field goal attempts over his career. Overall, Skipper was a model of consistency the past four seasons, but players with his skill-set rarely stick in the pros – when NFL teams are making final roster cuts, his ability on special teams could be the difference.
