Packers’ Present Needs Depend on Elgton Jenkins’ Future

When the Packers selected Elgton Jenkins with the 44th overall selection in the 2019 Draft, it was a little bit of a deviation from their norm. You’d have to go all the way back to Daryn Colledge (46) in 2006 to find the last time the Packers had selected an interior offensive lineman in the top 100 picks. But Jenkins proved immediately that he was worthy of such selection, including making it to the Pro Bowl in just his second season. But his value reached new heights a season ago after being tasked to fill in at tackle for injured David Bakhtiari.
