The Green Bay Packers make it a point to try to build their team through the draft each and every year. That being said, in recent years they have dipped into free agency to help build a Super Bowl caliber team as well. Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs were both home runs this past off-season.
However, going into 2025, a second-year player might be making a bigger impact than fans anticipate. ‘
Green Bay Packers Get Incredible Update On 2024 Draft Pick (Report)

I don’t think there is any need to sugarcoat it. Jordan Morgan’s season was a disaster for the Green Bay Packers. He missed most of training camp and the entire preseason with a shoulder injury before requiring season-ending surgery halfway through the season.
However, things are about to turn around:
Morgan’s rookie season ended with six appearances and only one start.
Naturally, there’s disappointment surrounding Morgan for essentially being a non-factor as a premier pick. But that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. Pro Football Focus recently identified early breakout candidates for each team in 2025, and Morgan was chosen for the Packers.
Here’s what they had to say:
“Starting center Josh Myers will be a free agent in March, and right guard Sean Rhyan was only solid this past year (61.3 PFF overall grade). The Packers took Morgan in the first round — and moved him to guard — for a reason, even if he played just 186 snaps in 2024. The former Arizona product allowed only three sacks and 30 pressures during his final two collegiate seasons. Expect Morgan’s pedigree to be unleashed in full this upcoming year at either guard slot, with the versatile Elgton Jenkins potentially moving positions.”

When the Packers drafted Morgan, they knew they were getting a versatile lineman who could potentially play both tackle and guard.
During camp, Morgan did take some reps at tackle, but right guard is where he had the best chance of getting on the field early. Before reaggravating his shoulder injury mid-season, Morgan had been splitting snaps with Rhyan. If not for his surgery, Morgan might have taken over the right guard spot full-time.
Yet, despite a rocky start to his NFL career, Morgan still possesses a ton of upside and projects to be a key component in Green Bay’s plans for the offensive line.
Here is a look at Morgan’s colligate starting numbers:
Morgan was able to stay healthy and on the field in college. It is likely he can return to that after a tough rookie year.
