A "Due" Comma in a Dialogue

"Generally speaking," he said, "the judges are very impressed when a person even comes close to hitting the mark, due to how much skill and concentration that takes."

I know you don't need a comma before "due," so I've stopped putting one in. I'm wondering, however, if it works there, though.

Thanks.
