The Green Bay Packers aren’t interested in the “sexy or flashy” pick. They’re interested in building a wall to protect the future of their franchise. Jordan Morgan was drafted with the 25th pick in the first round. The Packers passed on players like Cooper DeJean and Kool-Aid Mckinstry and opted for a potential David Bakhtiari replacement.
Today the Packers announce Morgan’s number, and it reminded fans of the 2010 Super Bowl run.

JR Radcliffe of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel immediately had a comparison:
Some bad first-round juju (Mandarich, Michels) but also Cullen Jenkins and Billy Turner.
Cullen Jenkins Wore #77 Once Upon A Time For The Packers
Jenkins joined the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2003. After being waived his first year, Jenkins made the team in 2004 and played in 93 games, recording 194 tackles (130 solo).
In 2010, Jenkins recorded seven sacks in 11 games en route to the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV victory, bringing his career total to 29 at the time. He spent time Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins following his Packers career.
