This Has Been a Disappointing Season for Packers OL Jordan Morgan
By GilMartin
Things haven’t worked out this season for former Packers first-round pick Jordan Morgan. The Arizona alum has failed to establish himself as a starter at any position along the offensive line after competing for at least two of them in preseason. His stock has now fallen so low that even when injuries hit the offensive line hard, Morgan wasn’t put into the lineup.
Injuries cut Morgan’s rookie season short. He played the team’s first six games before injuries ended his season prematurely. During OTAs, the coaching staff had Morgan split time between left tackle and right guard. By the time training camp rolled around, Matt LaFleur figured the best chance Morgan had to play right away was at right guard. Ultimately, Morgan lost the starting job there to Sean Rhyan.
Morgan started one game when center Josh Myers was injured and Elgton Jenkins moved to center. Besides that, he rotated in at right guard for a few series per game behind Rhyan. Then, injuries ended his season.
This year, Morgan was healthy to start training camp and was expected to compete for a starting job somewhere along the offensive line. Again, the two positions he was supposed to compete for were left tackle and right guard. Again, he didn’t win either job with Rasheed Walker keeping the left tackle job and Rhyan winning the right guard spot.
At the start of the season, Morgan again rotated in for a few series at right guard but wasn’t starting. When injuries struck the offensive line, the Packers had to shift players around. Zach Tom and Aaron Banks both missed some time with assorted injuries. For a while, Morgan filled in and started some games. The results were far from spectacular.
Then, when Elgton Jenkins was lost for the season, Rhyan moved from right guard to center. That made Morgan the starting right guard. Unfortunately, Morgan’s play wasn’t good enough for him to keep the job.
According to Pro Football Focus, Morgan has graded out among the bottom third of qualified guards. His pass blocking grade is higher than his run blocking grade, but neither is considered very good.
Eventually, the Packers benched Morgan and inserted rookie second-round pick Anthony Belton into the lineup at right guard. Since then, Morgan hasn’t seen the field much except on special teams. In fact, over the last three games, Morgan hasn’t played a single snap on offense.
Last week, Tom suffered a knee injury late in the second quarter against Denver. The Packers inserted Darian Kinnard in at right tackle to replace Tom. Morgan didn’t see the field at all. Kinnard also was utilized in recent weeks as the Packers sixth offensive lineman/tight end in obvious running situations over Morgan.
We still don’t know if Tom will be available Saturday night to face the Bears. He did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday. Head coach Matt LaFleur had this to say about Tom’s availability on Tuesday. “We'll see. I know he's going to fight and try to [play against the Bears]. We'll give him the week.”
If Tom can’t play, could that give Morgan a chance to be reinserted into the lineup at right tackle? A strong finish could be helpful to this disappointing season.
Morgan’s future as a starter remains uncertain. The Packers are unlikely to re-sign Walker and Rhyan may not be back either. That gives Morgan some opportunities to compete for a starting position next season.
The obvious question about Morgan’s lack of progress remains the Packers decision to cross train him. Not only has Morgan played both tackle and guard, but he’s played on both the left and right side. Some players thrive on working at different positions while others can be set back by it. So far, the results with Morgan have been less than ideal.
It’s too soon to call Morgan a bust after almost two seasons with the team, but the start of his career has been disappointing. He will get another chance to prove himself, whether it’s this season or next year in training camp. As far as Morgan is concerned, the sooner he gets back on the field the better.

Morgan is a Tackle, not a Guard. My question is why they haven't they rotated him with R. Walker, who is not playing particularly well?
Morgan will likely play LT next season, but he has no game experience in that important position.
Do they not trust him?

"My question is why haven't they rotated him with R. Walker, who is not playing particularly well."
Maybe because Walker is playing better than you think? Walker's PFF season grades are 79.6 as a pass blocker and 54.1 as a run blocker. His last game he graded out as an 88.7. Walker is an above average pass blocker and has been his entire career. Yes, his run blocking needs improvement, but he is not a bad left tackle and excels at his primary function of protecting Love's blind side.
I hope Morgan is good enough to be the LT next year, but I wouldn't assume that will happen. Tom is certainly good enough to move to LT so there may be other moves than simply inserting Morgan there.
Coldworld

Well said. We forget that Bakh held once or twice. The reality is that Morgan should have been practicing at RT and LT since the spring and Belton at G. That’s coaching.
No to in season rotations as well, unless injury driven. The neighboring OL need stability and players need to get used to working in unison. Make a choice, run with it, change if you have to. Hedging bets helps no one: not the players involved, not their neighbors on the OL and thus not the team.

At the beginning of the season, Morgan was one of our best 6 and was needed at guard. He rotated with Rhyan and also helped cover the games Banks missed.
But by midseason, Belton had improved enough, and practiced enough, that the coaches thought he could play the RG position. That's coaching. This allowed Morgan to focus more on LT, which I think is where he was drafted to play.
We keep 53 on the active squad and usually dress at least 9 offensive linemen. The five starters, Morgan, Kinnard, and Monk. That's 8 right there.
I don't know how big the dropoff would be between Walker and Morgan. I've seen the dropoff from Tom to Kinnard. And Monk hasn't played at all .
NFLfan
December 18, 2025 at 11:56 am
If Morgan is playing well, why isn't GB rotating him with R. Walker, whom Morgan is supposed to be replacing next year? Walker is not playing particularly well & this would give Morgan real game experience.
Walker is 95% gone next year as he will be expensive.
Guam
December 18, 2025 at 12:07 pm
I agree that Walker will be gone next year. I disagree with your other two assumptions. Walker is playing decently and Morgan has not been playing well at other positions (see PFF grades for both of them). Why would you insert Morgan when he is not playing as well as Walker and also create disharmony with your left guard and center for the remainder of this season? Let this season play out and deal with Morgan and the LT question next summer.
NFLfan
December 18, 2025 at 01:42 pm
It says something about Morgan's ability because R. Walker is not playing particularly well.
If he will play LT next year and R Walker is not playing well-Morgan should be taking some snaps, right?? And, he's not--that is a red flag.
This is my question-under those circumstances, why isn't he rotating? I'm not asking him to rotate with Bahktiari
stockholder
December 18, 2025 at 03:04 pm
Isn't that because Banks is?
Guam
December 18, 2025 at 03:40 pm
Of course it says something about Morgan's ability if he can't crack the starting lineup in two years despite being a #1 draft choice. Why would you expect him to start rotating at the most important position on the O-line when he hasn't practiced there much recently; hasn't played well elsewhere; and the starter is performing adequately?
I also wouldn't assume he will be the LT next year. The team has other options like Zach Tom at LT
Morgan has some proving to do (yes there have to be questions about his ability now after his performance at RG this year) and I suspect the coaching staff will wait until next season to evaluate him at LT or elsewhere.
Leatherhead
December 18, 2025 at 04:16 pm
Walker doesn't miss a snap and gets his job done on most plays. Why would you tinker with one of the stable positions on the line? Our left side, with Walker and Banks, and backed up with Morgan, is more than adequate. This notion that Walker isn't playing very well is flawed, and I'm sorry we can't afford to keep him, but that's why we drafted Morgan two years ago.
The Morgan question will be answered next year, and hopefully not sooner. He played 5 games last season. This season, he's #5 in snaps, on the Oline, just behind Tom. That's progress from last year, and he can spend the offseason preparing to compete for the LT spot.
2026: Morgan, Banks, Rhyan, Belton, Tom. Until somebody gets hurt.

Walker has been bad of late. He was very bad against the Broncos, even managed 4 penalties. He out performed his 7th round drat status overall and has mostly been decent, but overall he's below average, decent at pass blocking, poor against the run and obviously isn't getting better. Give Morgan a shot a LT next year, but have an excellent back up plan. I generally support Gute, but his 1st and 3rd round picks have been terrible and I'll never understand the money he threw at banks and hobbs. On the flip side, he brought in Adrian Amos, then McKinney and Jacobs, and then Micah.

I'm not so sure Morgan will 'likely' play left tackle next season.
If they draft a tackle in rounds 2 or 3, or pick up a tackle in free agency.
Gotta read between the lines there.
NFLfan
December 18, 2025 at 03:23 pm
The point is he was chosen as a first round pick and can't seem to succeed in any position on the OL. They desperately need him now and he is not even playing--
Next year there are a number of other needs on the team and whiffing on this one was a huge waste of Draft capital (again)
Guam
December 18, 2025 at 03:52 pm
The history is very clear - all teams whiff on about 50% of their first round draft choices. Not fun for us fans, but drafting is more art and luck than science. You don't promote a player that is underperforming just because he has a high draft status (i.e. Morgan).

If Morgan turns out to be a serviceable T, then he will in retrospect not be a bust, just mismanaged. LVN is a legitimate case of a to/date mis-draft, but he’s had an extra year and a settled position and still could come good (though I doubt it). Such is life at the back half of round one.
League wide. Less than 50% of first round picks get a second contract from the team that drafted them. Wyatt probably will get a second, Walker may or may not. Personally, I’d support the former and pass on Walker and run with Cooper and Hopper as my core. Pretty average first round drafting really (ignoring Golden as too early).

Wasn't LVN like the 13th overall pick in the draft?
Gonna have to come up with another excuse for the GM when explaining away his whiff on LVN, especially with players like Will McDonald, Christian Gonzalez, and JSN available at 13 and performing much, much better than our guy.

"Every team has under achieving high picks"
The same criticism could be made of 49er GM John Lynch. His 1st round track record is pretty spotty at best:
2017: 3: Solomon Thomas BUST
2017: 31: Reuben Foster BUST
2018: 9: Mike McGlinchey OK (under performed for a top-10 pick tho)
2019: 2: Nick Bosa HIT
2020: 14: Javon Kinlaw BUST
2020: 25: Brandon Aiyuk MIXED (Hit for a couple seasons)
2021: 3: Trey Lance BUST BUST BUST (3 1st rounders!!!)
2022: (no pick, Lance trade)
2023: (no pick, Lance trade)
(too soon to judge 2024 and 2025)
Spotty is charitable: I think that's about as bad as someone could draft. But the 49ers still pull together a talented roster.

If Morgan improves it will be a bonus. Unless better and not much more pricey options are available, I think Walker and Rhyan come back. Also, with more experience Rhyan and Belton should improve in their new positions. The draft should also bring in some more players.

Walker will likely command 15-20M on the open market-GB doesn't have the funds as there is limited Cap space, competing needs such as O-Line,CB-room, TE, DL and contract restructures.
LambeauPlain

"According to Pro Football Focus, Morgan has graded out among the bottom third of qualified guards."
Probably because he is not a Guard...never played the position until the OL coaching brain trust decided they would do the square peg, round hole experimentation. Morgan has LT skills with his quick feet and balance and enough strength to redirect pass rushers. But he is not a IOL mauler.
Did these coaching decisions severely disrupt his development to an NFL LT? It seems so.
NFLfan
December 18, 2025 at 11:03 am
Coaches see Morgan in practice. It seems they don't see enough to trust him to rotate w/Walker or it would be happening.
This is not a conspiracy against Gutekunst; there are several coaches who witness Morgan's play-Stenavich, Butkus and MLF. Stenavich is a successful OL coach and my guess is he is giving MLF his analysis of Morgan's play. I'm certain they would love to play a great Left Tackle
GregC
December 18, 2025 at 11:33 am
A lot of people projected Morgan as a guard in the NFL. It was not that much of a stretch. The Packers aren't the only team that tries O-linemen at different positions. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
Morgan had a good stretch at left tackle in training camp, and that's probably where he will end up next year. They will need to bring in some serious competition, though. I doubt they will want to just hand Morgan the starting job and hope for the best.

Whatever is said here as to what Morgan is or isn't, the biggest concern is what is taking the FO and coaching to make a determination. Either he has the tools of an above average player, regardless of position decided, or he doesn't. Is he better than the player blocking him out or not, and if you truly believe him to be the guy, play him there? Just stop with the experience thing, and play him at his better position and get him some experience. Playing the lesser isn't helping, playing the assumed better can't be worse.
The season is nearly over, one way or another, and this OL issue is still a major concern, yikes! Nothing has been settled, much less learned.

Packers will not use up big cap space numbers on Rashed Walker - thus, Morgan will take over at LT next summer. Presumably, Ryhan will also move on (ala Runyan / Myers, etc) with Jenkins, Belton, Banks and Tom back to man the starting line-up. The brass must see something with Jennings to keep him on the 53 along with Monk - without seeing the field. Another lineman that had a good junior year but was hurt his senior year will be drafted and provide some additional depth.,,,name to be determined. Kinnard comes back if he remains cheap.

I mean, how much worse than Walker could he have been last week? So if Walker struggles, put him in there. If Morgan does not prove to be a viable option anywhere, then we've really got problems...and look forward to an offseason where we bring around 30 OLs in for a tryout (didn't something like this happen a few years ago?)

Minor edit - "This Has Been a Disappointing Season(s) for Packers OL Jordan Morgan."
Frankly - I wasn't wild about the Morgan pick. Still I hoped that he could initially start his career as a backup swing tackle - until he could find his permanent position at LT. However most of what he has proven since being drafted - is that he is neither a capable G or RT. That's 2 strikes - with only 1 left (LT). At this point I'm just forgetting about a home run with Morgan - and looking for just meaningful contact.
HarryHodag
December 18, 2025 at 01:35 pm
i knew something was up with Morgan when he didn't beat out Walker in training camp. He had every opportunity to do so. I would be willing to give him a try at right tackle this week(after Tom tries to play and gets hurt again) to see if Morgan can hack it there. Kinnard looked like a blocking dummy last Sunday, a truly awful performance.
Cheezehead72
December 18, 2025 at 02:16 pm
Harry not sure if it is a good idea to put a LT that never played RT in at RT in a game. It is very difficult for tackles to switch sides. That is the reason I have said we need to bring in a true swing tackle to be back up to both sides.
HarryHodag
December 18, 2025 at 02:49 pm
There's merit to your argument but his draft position would tell me he has enough athleticism to do it, hence the number one draft pick. He's also been practicing there to be available. A nun from a local convent could play better right tackle than Kinnard did last weekend.

He only played 5 games as a rookie because of injuries. When you're injured, you're not practicing, either, and you aren't developing.
This year, he played some RG, but when Jenkins went down, and the team needed to shuffle the lineup, they put Belton in at RG instead of Morgan. That's not real surprising to me. The Packers have Kinnard as the RT backup, and now Morgan is probably considered the backup LT. Add in Monk as the backup Center and that's our 8 offensive linemen. We have two more on the 53, one of whom is usually active.
Morgan has the 5th most snaps of anybody on the offensive line, a mere 26 fewer offensive snaps than Tom, so in effect, he's been a starter for us this year for all intents and purposes. I think he was drafted to be our LT of the future, I still believe that, and I think he'll be giving every opportunity to win that position next year. If he's our starting LT in his 3rd year, we can exercise the 5th year option; if not, we don't.

Good points LH. I still like what curt said.

Morgan reminds me of the Eagles #1 pick in 2019 OT Andre Dillard, had the measurables and looked good on paper but was never productive. On his tour through the NFL, Dillard cycled through GB without making an impact either. Missing on those first rounders is brutal. Savage and Stokes were bona fide busts and there are others appearing to imminently be added to that list.

Making Love to Jordan Morgan...
"Morgan’s future as a starter remains uncertain."
He's not even a backup for the backup. Starter, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
First round pick, it's not too soon to call him a bust for the ages.
