Packers Roster Breakdown - Offensive Line 2021

 Who are the players??

First, the loss - Corey Linsley, our All-Pro Center is gone.  Salary Cap Hit! Hey Aaron & Davante, you want big bucks?  Great, BUT, you will lose players!)

Next, it looks like Corey Linsley, may be replaced by another Ohio State product from this years draft, Josh Meyers!  Packer fans, remember, Linsley was a rookie starter at center & he was from Ohio State!  Watching the interviews, this kid has a maturity & says all the right things!  He is large! 6'5" & 310 pounds!  Now, how will he do in pads?

Will are all-pro, Davis Bakhtiari, be ready to start the season?  Remember, we lost David at the end of last year!  That could have been a Super Bowl?  He is the LEADER of this line!  He is loved by Aaron Rodgers!  He is fun!  And, he has GREAT HAIR!


Our young gun! Elgton Jenkins?  Boy, at 25 years of age, my gut says he could be one of the BEST offensive lineman in Packer History!  He can play ANY of the 5 offensive line positions.  He has become an All Pro in just 3 years!  He should start anywhere!

Billy Turner.  Another, great pick up by our GM! (Aaron, our young GM id really not that bad!)  Again, he can play guard or tackle!  Again, ge has great hair!


Guard, Lucas Patrick.  Every line needs a play like Lucas that was not high profile, but hard worker, blue collar, success story!  Lucas is the man!

New VET on the block!  Dennis Kelly!  At age 31, starting most of those years!  And, a personality as I mentioned before!  And, yessssss, great hair!!!


Dennis has the experience to step in at any time!  And, has the personality to make practices FUN!

So, 

Left Tackle - David Bakhtiari
Left Guard - Elgton Jenkins
Center - Josh Myers
Right Guard - Lucas Patrick
Right Tackle - Billy Turner or Dennis Kelly

Not bad!  But, there is more!  People will be pushing hard to make this team!!  That is a good thing!

Jake Hanson - 6'4" - 296 lbs - Center - (last year draft choice, should push Myers!)
Yosh Nijman - 6'7" - 314 lbs - Tackle - (made team last year, a definite roster possibility)
Jon Runyan - 6'4" - 307 lbs - Guard - (got experience last year at guard & his pedigree is great!)
Simon Stepaniak - 6'4" - 316 lbs - Guard
Joe Dietzen - 6'5" - 312 lbs - Guard/Tackle
Ben Braden - 6'6" - 329 lbs - Guard
Zach Johnson - 6'6" - 301 lbs - Guard/Tackle
Jacob Capra - 6'5" - 300 lbs - Guard/Tackle
Cole Van Lanen - 6'4" - 305 lbs - Guard/Tackle
Royce Newman - 6'5" - 310 lbs - Guard/Tackle
Coy Cronk - 6'4" - 318 lbs - Guard/Tackle

It will be a battle to make the 53 man roster!  A great battle, which is GREAT for the team! 

My feelings????

We could have one of the BEST O-lines in the NFL!!!!

Go Pack Go!
