To be expected at least he retired before the season started. He was amazing for us..Enjoy your retirement big man rest up.
Fetch me my bathing toaster.
There ya go, Skip 🥲
Thank you skip 🫡
Always like him and his attitude
Earned it. This man worked his ass off grinding in this league to make it. He eventually shaped himself into a real pro. I will miss him immensely.
Seeing Dan Skipper score a TD in the game against the Bills in person at Ford Field was EPIC
I wish he could have gotten a Super Bowl ring. (I realize he was on the Patriots 2019 practice squad, no idea if he has a ring from that, but I mean a ring with us obviously)
I knew it was coming, and I wasn’t ready. He’ll always be eligible in my heart.
Love Skip and his time in Detroit, he was a great guy to have on the team, hope he stays involved with the Lions.
My man can report eligible for the beach for life now


He’ll always be an eligible receiver in our hearts
Big shout out to the Skipper. I hope he enjoys his retirement and stays around the team in some capacity.
I will miss Skip. Loved hearing Ford Field cheer every time they heard his number.
One thing I know about Skip is that he DIDN’T SAY A FUCKING WORD TO HIM.
So long, pardner.
Thank you for your service.
He’ll always be eligible in my memories.
I wonder how many times Skip got told he wasn’t good enough just to continue grinding to prove them wrong. Don’t love the injuries influencing this, but glad it’s more on his terms than on teams kicking him out.Â
Forever the tallest player of NFL history to score a touchdown. That will never be broken.
