Packers guard Elgton Jenkins learned about leadership from the veterans he started with, now he’s imparting his own style

GREEN BAY – When Elgton Jenkins was on his way to earning all-rookie team honors in 2019 – only the second Green Bay Packers guard to do so in more than four decades – he felt fortunate to have open-minded and experienced offensive linemates next to him.

He could ask for everyday advice from Billy Turner and he could go to David Bakhtiari for technical questions. He could ask Bryan Bulaga about assignments and Corey Linsley anything from his professional routine.

Though these teammates had many years on Jenkins, he always has been comfortable with an older crowd anyway, so he never hesitated to pose different questions for the very different personalities.
