Steelers wide receiver goes viral for James Harrison-inspired 'Danney Ball' workout
A Steelers wide receiver is channeling his inner James Harrison — taking on the intense 'Danney Ball' workout the legendary defender made famous.
Steelers WR Ben Skowronek went viral for his recent Danney Ball training he posted on TikTok, claiming the exercise was "too much fun".
Danney Ball isn't just trend — it's a brutal training method popularized by Harrison. The workout — named after Harrison's trainer Ian Danney — involves launching a heavy medicine ball over a volleyball net, with a focus on improving explosiveness, power, and conditioning.
Skowronek was drafted by the Rams with the 249th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft and was traded to the Texans in 2024. He was ultimately released by Houston as part of the final 53-man roster cuts and picked up by the Steelers shortly after. He's a valuable addition to Pittsburgh's special teams, blocking, and wide receiver depth.
