Who are the best offensive linemen in the NFC North? Here is a look at the all-NFC North team, which includes the Packers’ Elgton Jenkins and three members of the Lions.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins was the only Green Bay Packers offensive lineman selected to the all-NFC North Team. That unit is powered by three members of the Detroit Lions.
The Packers’ projected line consists of left tackle Rasheed Walker , Jenkins, center Josh Myers , whoever starts at right guard and right tackle Zach Tom .“Versatile, athletic, long, can play every spot on the line. Belongs in the top 10,” one executive told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler., who ranked the four starters at each position. A first-place vote was worth one point, a second-place vote was worth two points and so on.
Left guard is his best position, though. Back home in 2023, he allowed a grand total of zero sacks last season. Among guards, he played the second-most snaps without allowing a sack. In fact, according to Pro Football Focus, he’s on a 26-game streak of not allowing a sack. It wasn’t his best season as a run blocker; an early-season knee injury played a role. With a so-so center and a question mark at right guard, the Packers need Jenkins at his best.
A first-round pick by the Bengals in 2012, Zeitler was a first-time Pro Bowler for the Ravens last season. With experience in a number of different schemes, he should have little trouble playing at a high level for the Lions.
