If I had a vote, the 2019 Green Bay Packers rookie of the year would be Elgton Jenkins. The second round pick from Mississippi State was thrust into the lineup after the second game of the year when Lane Taylor got hurt and he has more than held his own.
Jenkins, according to Pro Football Focus, has one of the best pass blocking grades at guard in the league, not just among rookies. I think he’s a cinch for the NFL’s All-Rookie Team.
The soft spoken road grader will be out guest on the next edition of the 5th Quarter this Monday night live from The Turn, powered by TopGolf Swing Suite in the Titletown District.
We’ll review the Pack’s performance against the Redskins, look ahead to the final three games, all against the NFC North rivals and visit with Elgton.
It’s also the night for our grand prize drawing from the season long Hot and Cold Play contest thanks to our friends at Robinson’s Heating and Cooling. A lucky winner will take home a pair of indoor club seats to the Pack’s home finale next week against the Chicago Bears.
Hope to see you at The Turn Monday night.
