Early-round offensive linemen big board for Green Bay Packers in 2021 draft

Under general managers Ted Thompson and Brian Gutekunst, the Green Bay Packers have historically picked a specific type of offensive lineman – especially early in the draft – that can be more easily identified with athletic testing markers.

Back in 2018, Justis Mosqueda outlined the three primary markers for the Packers at offensive line: 10-yard split, three-cone and the short shuttle. The Packers like a 1.8-second 10-yard split, 7.7-second three-cone and 4.75-second short shuttle.

The Packers have been good at finding successful offensive linemen in the first four rounds. In fact, the hit rate is so high that the athletic thresholds must play a part in the consistency of success.
