Durable Duke center who started 58 college games before settling into a depth role on Green Bay's offensive line.
Jacob Monk built his reputation at Duke as an ironman who could play any spot along the line. In Green Bay, he has worked to translate that versatility into a steady NFL role, though injuries have interrupted his early progress.
Path to the league
Monk was a five-year starter at Duke, making 58 career starts while moving from right tackle to right guard to center and serving as a team captain. He earned second-team All-ACC honors as a senior on a line that allowed just 1.31 sacks per game. The Packers selected him in the fifth round (No. 163 overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Monk's college resume centers on durability and leadership, earning him respect as a captain who protected quarterback prospect development at Duke. As a rookie in 2024, he appeared in 10 regular-season games as a backup offensive lineman for the Packers, working primarily behind starting center Josh Myers.
2025 season recap
Monk was slowed by a hamstring injury that kept him out of at least the first four games of 2025, and he opened the year on injured reserve before being activated for the Week 7 game against Arizona. He played a limited 57 offensive snaps on the season while competing for a depth role along the line.
