"A five-year Arizona left tackle whose feet, not his frame, made him a first-round pick — and whose short arms and medical file made every team quietly plan for a move inside."Pre-draft read
Five-year Arizona left tackle who built his tape on movement rather than mass. Morgan plays with light, connected feet in his pass sets, gets depth quickly against speed and mirrors laterally without losing his frame, and his hands land inside often enough to keep rushers off his chest and penalties off the sheet.
The run game is where his athletic profile shows loudest: he is one of the smoothest climbers in the class, comfortable reaching a shaded nose on wide zone and tracking linebackers in space. He is a positional blocker more than a finisher, and power rushers can walk him back when his pads rise, but the combination of balance, recovery quickness and pro-ready pass-set mechanics is the trait that separates him.
Wide-zone and outside-zone running game paired with quick-game, half-slide pass protection — a Shanahan-derived offense that asks linemen to move, reach and climb rather than displace at the point of attack.
Year 1: swing starter who opens at guard while learning the tackle spot, with immediate value on screens and second-level climbs. Ceiling: multi-year starting left tackle in a movement offense.
A gap-and-power scheme that lines him up against 340-pound heads-up nose tackles and asks him to win with duo double-teams and short-set anchoring — the length and pad-level issues get exposed on every rep.
His value rises on a line that lets him play in space and falls on one that asks him to hold ground in a phone booth.

What Jordan Morgan Shows on Tape for the Green Bay Packers
Post-draft look at how his movement traits fit Green Bay's outside-zone scheme.
Morgan is a zone-scheme offensive lineman whose value comes from feet, angles and body control instead of raw power. He arrived at Arizona as a lightly recruited in-state prospect, played sparingly across his first two seasons, then held the blind side for three straight years and never came off the field when healthy.
The production backs the projection. He took over full time in 2021, was first-team All-Pac-12 in 2022 before a November ACL tear, and returned in 2023 to start every game and lead the Wildcats' line in blocking grade. Two flags followed him into the process: the medical file and short arms for the position, which several evaluators read as a signal he would eventually kick inside to guard.
The board had him in the late-first to early-second range as the fourth or fifth tackle off a deep board, and Green Bay took him at 25 with that flexibility as the point. It was a bet on a scheme-perfect mover in an outside-zone offense who could open at guard, survive at tackle, and grow into a starter at whichever spot came open first.
- 01
Pass-set mechanics
Gets depth quickly with balanced, connected feet and rarely lunges, which lets him defend the edge against pure speed.
- 02
Lateral mirror
Elite short-area quickness to slide, redirect and pick up twists and stunts without opening his hips prematurely.
- 03
Zone run fits
Understands positioning and angles on wide and inside zone, walling defenders off rather than needing to displace them.
- 04
Climbing in space
Smooth accelerating to the second level and on screens, and he can find and fit moving linebackers on the run.
- 05
Hand placement
Consistently lands inside with good extension, keeping rushers out of his pads and holding his penalty count down.
- 01
Anchor against power
Pads drift up on late bull rushes and bigger defenders can walk him into the pocket before he resets his base.
- 02
Length
Short arms for the position mean he must be exact with timing; when he is late, rushers get first contact and control the rep.
- 03
Medical file
Torn ACL in November 2022 plus other missed time, and the durability questions carried straight into his pro career.
- 04
Finishing temperament
Workmanlike rather than nasty; he sustains and covers up but rarely buries defenders or creates movement.

A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
A movement-based interior starter whose athleticism is the engine of an outside-zone run game.
The optimistic outcome: a smooth technician who grows into a long-term blind-side starter in a zone offense.
The floor: a first-round lineman who bounces between guard and tackle without ever locking down either job.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Green Bay drafted him as a tackle and immediately used him as a swing piece. His rookie year was a wash: a shoulder injury limited him to six games, mostly as part of a right-guard rotation with Sean Rhyan, plus one start at left guard in Week 9 when Elgton Jenkins slid to center, and he landed on injured reserve before Week 11. In 2025 he was finally available for a full season, appearing in all 17 games with 12 starts while bouncing between right guard, left guard and his first career start at right tackle, and by midseason he had taken over the bulk of the right-guard snaps.
The projection was right, the position was not — at least not yet. He is the outside-zone mover Green Bay wanted, and the flexibility that made him a late-first pick is exactly how they have used him, but two years in he is a versatile interior starter rather than the plug-and-play blind-side answer a top-25 selection usually implies. The medical concerns that pushed him down some boards proved real, the length concerns pushed him inside, and the payoff still depends on whether the tackle job finally sticks.
