Jordan Morgan of the Green Bay Packers has not yet decided if he will play guard or tackle.
Perhaps Jordan Morgan considers himself a left tackle. In the overtime position, the Packers even put their first-round selection pick. But it’s unclear where he will play yet.
Adam Stenavich, the offensive coordinator for the Packers, says as much. At their first mini-camp in Green Bay, the OC and the other coaches received their first in-depth look at the rookie class. Morgan is the class leader and the top pick.
According to reports, Stenavich “is a natural on the edge.” He seemed to be at ease outside. Like everyone else, we certainly have some technique issues to work on, but overall, I’m eager to work with him and observe him. He’s not a guard or a tackle, in my opinion; I’m simply trying to figure out where he fits in best for our team and our top five players.
That might be at hand, therefore. Perhaps it’s not, Stenavich continued. However, I’m eager to collaborate with him because his athleticism is evident when he’s on the field. He is a fairly gifted individual.
Packers initial selection Jordan Morgan seemed destined to start at left tackle since he talks and looks like a left tackle. He claimed that during today’s walkthrough, he lined up there. First rookie practice in real life in a few hours.
The typical NFL overtime player’s arms are longer than Jordan Morgan’s.
It’s not a talent issue for Morgan. It is roughly equal to his arm length. The Packers and other NFL teams have certain building requirements for their offensive tackles. Morgan, the former Arizona Wildcat, was the talk of the scouting field because of his arms. The minimum arm length required by the league for a tackle is 34 inches. Morgan has 32 7/8-inch arms. That extra eighth of an inch could mean the difference between a tackle allowing a hard-charging defensive end to get the sack and keeping his quarterback upright in the pocket.
Morgan remarked, “I get that a lot, the short arms stuff,” late last week during a press availability for the Packers. “It seems like you haven’t viewed any movies. I mean, I make good use of his arms. I got them off the ball. See the stats—I mean, I do a great job protecting the quarterback and passing the ball. It doesn’t annoy me. All I have to do is disprove everyone.
