When the Green Bay Packers began training camp last week, there was no question whom the coaching staff had decided would take over at left tackle while All Pro David Bakhtiari rehabs his knee injury. Since day one, Elgton Jenkins has moved from his left guard spot over to tackle. It’s always difficult to accurately assess line play when you’re not playing full contact football, but by all accounts, Jenkins has been unmovable. Even edge rusher Rashan Gary, who is having an outstanding camp, embarrassing offensive linemen, has been unable to get around the third year veteran.
“Elgton has really been impressive so far at left tackle” says Dean Lowry, who lines up on the other side of the ball every day.
