Packers' Jordan Morgan Finally Gets His Shot at Left Tackle
The 2024 first-round pick spent two seasons playing guard before stepping in for departed starter Rasheed Walker, with GM Brian Gutekunst calling him a player with a 'super-bright future.'
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jordan Morgan is finally getting a real chance at the left tackle job he was drafted to play, two years after the team took him 25th overall as a tackle prospect out of Arizona.
Why did it take this long?
Morgan instead played guard for his first two seasons, starting 10 of 13 games there, and didn't get real left tackle snaps until the 2025 regular-season finale against Minnesota. Some teams reportedly had doubts about his tackle projection due to his arm length.
Who is he replacing?
Morgan steps in for Rasheed Walker, the starter the past two seasons since David Bakhtiari's injury-forced retirement, who was released and signed with Carolina in free agency.
What are people saying about him?
"We think he's got a super-bright future to be a really good player in this league," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Quarterback Jordan Love added, "Got a lot of confidence in him... he's been doing great things." Coach Matt LaFleur said, "That is what the expectation is... the thing you do control is your effort and physicality."
