PFF Names Packers\u2019 $14 Million Tackle To 2025 All-Breakout Team<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time of year marks a quiet period on the NFL calendar, with most teams entering a break before training camp. For the Green Bay Packers, that means no on-field activity until late July. The team completed its mandatory minicamp from June 10 to 12, and players and coaches are now off until camp begins.<\/p>\n

Players like Jordan Love, Edgerrin Cooper, and Mecole Hardman have made headlines<\/a> throughout the offseason program, whether through praise from coaches and teammates or social media videos highlighting their plays in practice. Overall, the 2025 Packers have the potential to be a great team\u2014but that will only happen if the coaches have the right plan in place and the players fully understand what the team is trying to accomplish.<\/p>\n

A few breakout performances in 2025 could go a long way in unlocking that potential. Packers tackle Jordan Morgan is a prime example \u2014 Pro Football Focus included him on their 2025 All-Breakout Team, and Green Bay should expect him to take a big step forward next season.<\/p>\n

The Packers drafted Jordan Morgan with their first-round pick in 2024 and signed<\/a> him to a four-year, $14.185 million contract that included a $7.136 million signing bonus. While he began his career as a tackle, Morgan played 185 snaps at guard during his rookie season. Heading into 2025, he is expected to compete for the starting left tackle job in training camp.<\/p>\n

“Based on their hallmark offseason moves, the Packers have intended to make life easier on Jordan Love by signing Aaron Banks and drafting Matthew Golden in the first round,” wrote PFF’s Bradley Locker<\/a>.\u00a0“The next step in that plan would figure to be starting Morgan.”<\/p>\n

“Morgan, Green Bay\u2019s first-round pick a year ago, played only 186 snaps as he endured a shoulder injury,” he added. “Experiencing over 65 snaps at each guard spot, Morgan generated a 59.2 overall PFF grade and a 61.5 PFF pass-blocking grade, both of which fell below expectations for a player of his caliber. Still, 2024 proved to be Morgan\u2019s first campaign at guard after never playing a snap there at Arizona.”<\/p>\n

Locker also touched on the current state of Green Bay\u2019s offensive line in his article. While the plan is for Jordan Morgan to compete at tackle, Locker suggests he could slide inside to play guard.<\/p>\n

“In light of the Packers\u2019 offensive line reshuffling, Elgton Jenkins is expected to slide from guard to center, leaving an opening at the corresponding guard spot next to the newcomer Banks,” he said. “Given Morgan\u2019s college pedigree \u2014 he turned in an 83.4-plus overall PFF grade in both 2022 and 2023 \u2014 he appears poised to win that job, if not follow in Jenkins\u2019 and others\u2019 footsteps and break out.”<\/p>\n

The Packers have Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker slated to hit unrestricted free agency in 2026. Green Bay will likely extend<\/a> Tom, while the most probable scenario for Walker is hitting the open market next year. If that happens, Morgan could step in as Jordan Love\u2019s blindside protector. However, if Morgan gets considerable snaps at guard and has a productive season, it will be hard for the coaching staff to move him out of that role.<\/p>\n
