PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Elgton Jenkins is moving to center, and the Green Bay Packers think their running game will be even better because of it.
The move became possible when the Packers signed San Francisco 49ers free agent Aaron Banks to a four-year, $77 million contract with the intention of playing him at left guard, a spot where Jenkins was twice selected to the Pro Bowl.
An offense that finished with its highest ranking in rushing (fifth) in more than 20 years could become an even larger focal point of the game plan thanks to running back Josh Jacobs and the addition of a road-grader interior lineman such as Banks.
