Robert Francis Skoronski[1] (March 5, 1934 – October 30, 2018) was an American professional football player who was a tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for the Green Bay Packers for 11 seasons.[2] He played college football for the Indiana Hoosiers.

Early life

Born in Ansonia, Connecticut, Skoronski grew up in Derby[1] with three brothers and a sister.[3] He went to high school at Fairfield College Preparatory School, graduating in 1951.[4] He then attended Admiral Billard Academy in New London for a year.[3] He played college football at Indiana University in Bloomington.[5] As a senior in 1955, he was the Hoosiers' most valuable player and averaged 50 minutes per game.[6]

Playing career

Skoronski was selected in the fifth round of the 1956 NFL draft, 56th overall, by the Green Bay Packers.[7] He started at left tackle in his rookie season in 1956 under third-year head coach Lisle Blackbourn, and then served two years in the U.S. Air Force.[5][7] Skoronski returned to the team in 1959, the first season under head coach Vince Lombardi.[7]

Skoronski was the offensive left tackle and offensive captain on Lombardi's five NFL championship teams.[7] He played in the Pro Bowl following the 1966 season (and the first Super Bowl).[8]

Following his 11th season in the NFL, Skoronski retired in June 1969,[9][10] and was elected to the Packers Hall of Fame in 1976.[11] In 2017, the Professional Football Researchers Association named Skoronski to the PFRA Hall of Very Good Class of 2017.[12]

Personal life

Skoronski met his wife Ruth in college and they married in 1956. They had four children, three boys and a girl (Bob, Steve, Ron and Patti), and four grandchildren.[3][4]

He died of Alzheimer's disease on October 30, 2018, in Middleton, Wisconsin.[13][14][15]

His grandson, Peter Skoronski, played offensive tackle at Northwestern University and was picked by the Tennessee Titans 11th overall in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.[16][17][18]
