Packers: Predicting 3 All Pros for 2021 NFL Season
It’s true the Green Bay Packers are all about team accomplishments–their locker room chemistry is one of their greatest strengths since Matt LaFleur arrived. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some individual awards to be gleaned this season.
The Packers have elite players at a number of key positions, which puts them in a spot to earn a vaunted All-Pro selection. At the end of each season, a 50-person panel from the media selects the first and second teams that consist of 11 players on offense and defense as well as six specialists.
Last year, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, David Bakhtiari and Corey Linsley all made the first team while Za’Darius Smith and Jaire Alexander made the second team. Who will make it this season?
The Green Bay Packers have a ton of talent on their 2021 team. But who will rise to the highest of levels and earn All-Pro status this season?
Predicting Packers’ All-Pros: Elgton Jenkins
Bakhtiari would be a favorite to earn an All-Pro selection, but, unfortunately, he’s starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. That means he’ll be out at least the six first weeks.
Elgton Jenkins is starting in his place and has his own opportunity to do great things. Jenkins is quickly making a name for himself both as a dominant left guard and as a versatile offensive lineman who can fill in anywhere. He’s been at left tackle all training camp which has given him plenty of time to prepare. Don’t be surprised if he’s just as elite on the outside as he was on the inside.
