10 players we’re most excited to watch during Packers training camp
Despite the Packers spending a first-round pick on Jordan Morgan, a left tackle from Arizona, Rasheed Walker is as confident as ever this offseason. Matt LaFleur has also commended him for how he’s approached the offseason, even if there may be some uncertainty around whether or not he will be starting at left tackle. What LaFleur and Adam Stenavich wanted from Walker last season was consistency, and we started to see that down the stretch. In the final six games, including two playoff games, Walker surrendered just one sack and eight pressures and did so against pass rushers like Nick Bosa, Micah Parsons, Montez Sweat, Brian Burns, and others. We often hear about the Year 2 leap, and while Walker is entering his third NFL season, this will be his second as a starter, so I believe we will see a similar developmental jump for him. For what it’s worth, throughout offseason programs, Walker has dominated the starting left tackle reps. — Paul Bretl
