Packers’ Critical Position Battle Takes Center Stage at Training Camp

Head coach Matt LaFleur and the Packers are turning up the heat on the battle for the starting left tackle job.

As the Packers’ offense aims to make some big strides, and faciliate a big leap from quarterback Jordan Love, in his third season as the starter, improving the overall play of the offensive line figures to be a major focus during training camp this summer and into the regular season.

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the left tackle job figures to take center stage over the next month.

“Despite starting almost every game the past two seasons,” Demovsky writes for ESPN. “Rasheed Walker does not appear to have a firm hold on the job. Jordan Morgan, a 2024 first-round pick, will get the chance to compete with Walker while also potentially going up against Sean Rhyan for the right guard spot. Morgan played only 186 snaps as a rookie — all at guard — because of injuries, but he was drafted as a left tackle.”

Packers Have High Hopes for Jordan Morgan

The Packers chose Morgan No. 25 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and while injuries derailed his rookie season, head coach Matt Lafleur has pushed the door wide open for the former Arizona standout to secure a starting job this summer.

“He’s done a nice job,” LaFleur told reporters, of Morgan. “His body looks different. So, it’ll be interesting to just let it naturally and organically kind of play itself out, throughout the course of camp.

“He’s going to be, he’s going to have to cross-train at guard and we’ll see where it all lands.”

Limited to just 65 snaps last season, Morgan allowed three quarterback hits and seven pressures, but the Packers are betting that he has significantly more upside this season and beyond. For Morgan, it starts with nailing down a starting job this summer, which it seems Green Bay is intent on giving him every opportunity to do.
