US EditionPackers' Elgton Jenkins expected to move from guard to center next season
- Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst announced that two-time Pro Bowl left guard Elgton Jenkins is expected to move to center, a statement made during NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday.
- This decision addresses the Packers' need to fill the center position after Josh Myers, a 2021 second-round pick who started 56 games for the team, joined the New York Jets last month.
- Elgton Jenkins, a 2019 second-round pick who has made 85 starts, has primarily played left guard for the Packers over his seven seasons, but the team values his versatility.
- Gutekunst highlighted Jenkins' ability to play all five offensive line positions, stating, "He's got a chance to be an All-Pro center," and emphasizing that "versatility plays into our offensive line."
- The move of Jenkins to center is expected to create an opportunity for guard Aaron Banks, who recently signed with the Packers in free agency after starting 43 games for the San Francisco 49ers, to play on the offensive line.
