Packers: 5 young offensive players who could shine in playoffs
1. Packers’ young offensive player who could shine: Elgton Jenkins
One of the unsung heroes (okay, maybe not so unsung anymore since he made the Pro Bowl) has been Elgton Jenkins on the offensive line. By now, you know all about his versatility to not only play literally any position on the line, but to play it at an extremely high level.
Jenkins’ PFF grade doesn’t do him justice, as he’s been of the best left guards in the league this season. Between Jenkins and David Bakhtiari at left tackle, Rodgers never has to worry about the left side of the line when he drops back for a pass. Jenkins’ future may be at center if the Packers allow Corey Linsley to walk in free agency. Wherever he plays–both now and in the future–Green Bay knows they can rely on him to take care of business.
