The Green Bay Packers were arguably the most disappointing team in football last year. And perhaps no one did less with more than Packers’ coach Matt LaFleur.
Green Bay headed into the 2025 season with one of the NFL’s top rosters, then traded for star defensive end Micah Parsons 10 days before the year began. Suddenly, Packer Nation was dreaming of their first Super Bowl appearance since 2010.
Instead, Green Bay went a remarkably unsatisfying 9-8-1 overall and was the NFC’s No. 7 seed for a third consecutive year. The Packers then blew a 21-3 halftime lead in the Wild Card round against Chicago, gave up 25 fourth quarter points and eventually suffered a shocking 31-27 loss to the arch-rival Bears.
“No way you should lose games in this league when you’re up that much,” running back Josh Jacobs said.
Green Bay, which began the year 9-3-1, finished the season with five straight losses. The Packers now enter 2026 with the league’s fourth-longest losing streak.
Collapsing late in games was the story of Green Bay’s 2025 campaign.
Green Bay had double digit leads in the final minutes twice against Chicago and also vs. Cleveland and somehow went 0-3 in those games. The Packers’ odds of losing all three contests were 1-in-250,000, yet they somehow did it.
“That (expletive), it’s starting to get damn-near embarrassing,” safety Javon Bullard said.
Rebounding won’t be easy as the Packers were hit hard in free agency and didn’t have a first round draft pick.
Green Bay’s first training camp practice is July 29. Between now and then I will count down the ‘30 Most Important Packers’ heading into the 2026 campaign.
At No. 10 is left tackle Jordan Morgan.
No. 10
Jordan Morgan, LT
Last season
Morgan played in all 17 games and made 12 starts — seven at right guard, two at left guard, two at right tackle and one at left tackle.
Morgan earned a grade of 59.0 from Pro Football Focus, which ranked 48th out of 81 qualified offensive guards. His pass-blocking grade of 64.3 ranked 31st and his run-blocking grade of 57.8 ranked 49th.
In 748 snaps, Morgan allowed 24 pressures four sacks, two hits and was penalized five times.
Career to date
Morgan, a left tackle at Arizona, couldn’t beat out Rasheed Walker for that job in Green Bay in either 2024 or 2025.
Morgan, Green Bay’s first round draft pick in 2024, played in just six games as a rookie before going on the injured reserve list with a shoulder injury.
Morgan split time with Sean Rhyan at right guard early in the 2024 season. Then he started and played all 65 snaps at left guard in Week 9 against Detroit when Elgton Jenkins moved to center for an injured Josh Myers.
After a bye in Week 10, though, Morgan went on the injured reserve list ending his rookie season.
Outlook
Morgan certainly has the skill set to become a quality left tackle.
Morgan (6-5, 311) has good feet, outstanding athleticism and ran the 40-yard dash in 5.04 seconds at the NFL Combine.
In his last two college seasons at Arizona, Morgan allowed just three sacks in 880 pass-blocking snaps. And of 96 FBS-level tackles in the 2024 draft class who played at least 650 offensive snaps, he ranked 14th in pass-blocking efficiency by Pro Football Focus.
The negatives are Morgan has short arms (32 7/8”) and isn’t as physical as some scouts like.
Morgan has waited 2 ½ years to play the position he loves. Now, it’s on him to prove he can handle the job.
They said it …
“I think he was ready last training camp. I thought he had a really good training camp. I thought he was ready to go and I think if we were to need him at any point in the season to play left tackle, we were very confident he could go there and play winning football.” — Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst on Morgan
“Well, Jordan’s a team guy … and our number one rule, team first, and he would do whatever he could to help this football team win, and he did that. Now that he is lining up at left tackle, great, he’s going to come in with that same attitude, ready to help the team win and again just get better every single day. We’ve got a lot of football to be played, he’s got a lot to learn and he’s making strides. Are we there yet? No. But attitude-wise, couldn’t ask for anything better from Jordan Morgan.” — Packers offensive line coach Luke Butkus on Morgan
“I mean, it does take a little bit when you’ve been away from it for so long, it’s like you’ve got to … you’re rusty for a little bit, and then you knock the rust off, and you just keep going and going and going, and every day you just keep building and building, and your body just starts to pick up, and it’s just second nature to me now.” — Morgan on moving back to left tackle permanently
