Trending up: Elgton Jenkins as a STUD lineman, Aaron Rodgers’ drama theorists.

Elgton Jenkins earned the highest PFF grade on the Packers at 89.6 and was also the third-highest left tackle in the NFL in Week 1. That’s great news for someone who is filling in for All-Pro David Bakhtiari. As a whole, the offensive line played pretty well with Jenkins leading the charge. When Bakhtiari returns in the middle of the year, Green Bay will have to figure out if they should move Jenkins back to left guard or keep him on the outside at right tackle.

Depending on which perspective you have, Aaron Rodgers brought a lot of drama to a Green Bay Packer locker room that has gone 26-6 the last two years and advanced to two NFC Championship games over the last two years. Some might even say that drama affected Green Bay’s on-the-field play in Week 1 as they laid a complete stinker. Those drama theorists are flying high after Week 1.
