The return of Elgton Jenkins on Monday has excited the Green Bay Packers and his fans. Expected to play center after spending most of his career as a left guard, a role that he performed so well he earned a couple of Pro Bowl nods.
The hope is that Jenkins will continue to shine as the Packers’ starting center, especially with the struggles the others are having filling that role in training camp, particularly with snapping the ball to the quarterback.
That was highlighted anew on Monday, when tight end Tyler Kraft was hit by a snap while on the move behind the line of scrimmage.
Packers having trouble in camp snapping the ball
The Packers’ trouble with snapping appears to be a growing concern for the team, one that they should clean up as the 2025 NFL season approaches.
Via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic:
“The Packers continue having issues snapping the ball. In recent days, the culprit has been reserve center Trey Hill. On Monday, one Sean Rhyan snap hit Kraft in motion before falling to the ground and another drifted left of Love before hitting the grass. On that play, Love recovered and launched a prayer down the left sideline to Golden, who did well to cut in front of Hobbs and make sure the pass fell incomplete.”
Perhaps rust has played a part in those botched snaps, with the Packers training camp not even a week removed from when it started.
In any case, improvement in that area will have to show sooner rather than later.
