The Green Bay Packers didn’t get nearly what they hoped or expected from Jordan Morgan as a rookie, but that could be about to change in a major way.
Morgan, chosen by the Packers in the first round of the 2024 season, saw his rookie campaign ended after just six weeks due to a shoulder injury and could be looking to make a major bounce-back this fall.
Over at Pro Football Focus, analyst Bradley Locker put together an All-Breakout team for the 2025 season across the NFL, with Morgan as the selection at offensive guard.
“Experiencing over 65 snaps at each guard spot,” Locker writes of Morgan for PFF. “Morgan generated a 59.2 overall PFF grade and a 61.5 PFF pass-blocking grade, both of which fell below expectations for a player of his caliber. Still, 2024 proved to be Morgan’s first campaign at guard after never playing a snap there at Arizona.
“In light of the Packers’ offensive line reshuffling, Elgton Jenkins is expected to slide from guard to center, leaving an opening at the corresponding guard spot next to the newcomer Banks. Given Morgan’s college pedigree — he turned in an 83.4-plus overall PFF grade in both 2022 and 2023 — he appears poised to win that job, if not follow in Jenkins’ and others’ footsteps and break out.”
General manager Brian Gutekunst and the Packers saw the offense sputter down the stretch, the passing game be mired in inconsistency for much of the 2024 season and spent big to try to fix it in 2025.
While Matthew Golden’s arrival may make the biggest impact, getting what amounts to a second first-round pick on the field this season, and potentially stabilizing the interior of the offensive line in front of Love, may be exactly what the Packers need in order to take a major step towards a playoff run this season.
