The two outcomes in 2024 for first-round draft choice Jordan Morgan could indicate what his future will look like with the Packers.
His versatility and athleticism are the two traits the Packers most desire in their linemen. It's worked out for Green Bay with Zach Tom, Elgton Jenkins and seemingly Rasheed Walker. Conversely, Josh Myers and Royce Newman's athleticism hasn't exactly translated to much standout play.
"Just watching him out there, he’s a natural on the edge," offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said of Morgan during OTAs. "He looks comfortable out there. There’s obviously some technique stuff we got to clean up, just like anybody." Expect to see a shuffling around of Morgan along with other linemen throughout training camp as Green Bay looks to find its best starting group. Right tackle Zach Tom's comeback from a torn pectoral and right guard Sean Rhyan's progress in general will factor in where Morgan lines up.
His role in his rookie season could be a rotational piece, spending time at both left tackle and right guard as need necessitates. The coaching staff will have to judge his preparedness before thrusting him into the fire. The baseline goal for Morgan this year will be proving that he is mentally and physically up for the NFL game. That he has the potential to develop into a long-term starter with the Packers. After all, you don't win many one-on-ones just by being physically gifted.
