    Ben Skowronek, WR, Notre Dame – NFL Draft Player Profile

    Position: Wide Receiver
    School: Notre Dame
    Current Year: Graduate Student
    Height: 6’2 7/8″
    Weight: 220 pounds
    Wingspan: 80 1/4″
    Arm: 32 5/8″
    Hand: 10″

    Positives: Tall, sure-handed receiver who is fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage and tracks the pass in the air. Gets vertical and looks the ball into his hands. Competes to come away with the difficult catch and wins out for contested throws more times than not. Solid route runner for a bigger receiver who quickly gets into breaks then stays low on exit.

    Displays focus as well as concentration, plays intelligent football, and possesses strong hands. Extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and makes the reception away from his frame.

    Negatives: Lacks play speed as well as burst. Suffered a Jones fracture in his foot during Senior Bowl practices.

    Analysis: Skowronek is a reliable possession receiver with a nose for the end zone. He offers possibilities as a fifth wideout if he gets back to health and gets his game back to where it was during the 2020 season.

    IMO he’s a special teams pick

    Anything else he does beyond special teams IMO is probably gravy. A special teamer in round 7 to help fix a lagging unit? That’s fine with me.

    Here’s Snead on him:

    But what we did know is we had identified some guys with our personnel staff and Joe DeCamillis, our new special teams coach, the guys that could come in and hey, like a Jacob Harris, like Mr. Funk and some of those guys and ‘Big Ben’…that could help on teams too.
