Titans first-round pick Peter Skoronski recalls odd pre-draft meeting with one NFC head coach

finds himself heading to Nashville after being selected by the with the No. 11 William Jackson Jersey overall pick at last week's . While the Northwestern offensive tackle impre sed enough for Tenne see to bring him aboard with its top pick, it doesn't sound like he was blowing away everyone. Skoronski, who met with 14 teams leading up to the draft, recalled a rather awkward exchange between him and head coach Arthur Smith, who didn't seem too interested in what he was seeing with the top prospect."The head coach was on me the second I got in there," Skoronski said of his meeting with Smith at the Scouting Combine,"I was giving them generic answers to their questions, and he said, 'You're John Miller Jersey really boring me right now. Your answers are so boring.' The whole meeting, he kept looking at his computer. I was kind of laughing to myself and said, 'Sorry, I don't know what you want me to do. I'm answering you honestly.'" Jonah Williams Jersey TEN OT #77 It's unclear, of course, if Smith was actually disinterested in Skoronski or if the head coach was playing some sort of mind game with him -- as some teams are prone to do -- to see how he'd react in what seems like a rather awkward exchange.

Instead, the club opted for Texas running back to lead their backfield going forward.Skoronski added that his interview with Titans head coach Mike Vrabel did go a bit smoother and noted that he "liked his energy," so he was able to endear himself to at least one organization. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder was CBS Sports' John Ross Jersey top-ranked tackle prospect this year and the No. 6 player in this cla s overall, so the Titans are getting themselves quite the talent. Skoronski is now positioned to take over the starting left tackle position which had formerly been held by Pro Bowler , who was released earlier this offseason.
