Dan Skipper has become a huge favorite among Detroit Lions fans for many reasons. Some people remember the small controversy about whether he reported as an eligible player during an important play. That moment created a lot of chatter, but honestly most fans love him for something much more simple. He is just incredibly huge. His size alone makes him stand out the moment he steps on the field.

Dan Skipper is officially listed at six foot nine. A long time ago the Arkansas Razorbacks’ website even called him six foot ten, but that might have been a little extra kindness. Even at six nine he already looks massive next to most players.

His weight makes him even more impressive. Skipper is listed at three hundred thirty four pounds. That makes him the second heaviest player on the Lions. The only one slightly heavier is his teammate Penei Sewell who is six foot five and three hundred thirty five pounds.

Because of his size and his personality Skipper has naturally turned into a fan favorite. He is fun to watch, easy to root for and hard to miss on the field.
