Upward Trajectory

By Sullivan Bortner, GoDuke the Magazine

On September 2, 2017, Matt Skura was cut by the Baltimore Ravens and signed to the team’s practice squad. The decision hit hard for Skura, who believed he had done everything in his power throughout the preseason to make the final roster.

Twenty-two days later, Skura was in London, lined up as the Ravens’ starting right guard against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Moments such as these were not uncommon for Skura. Since going undrafted out of Duke in 2016, the All-America center has constantly been trying to prove himself worthy to NFL brass.
