GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — As he developed into an offensive lineman capable of getting drafted in the first round, Jordan Morgan says he spent plenty of time watching former Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari.
Now the former Arizona tackle may get a chance to fill Bakhtiari’s old spot on Green Bay’s offensive line.
The Packers departed from their usual strategy of targeting defensive players in the first round by selecting Morgan with the 25th overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night. Morgan says he’d like to emulate the skills that helped make Bakhtiari an All-Pro.
