Monk Gets Massive Opportunity at Training Camp

GREEN BAY, Wis. – When opportunity knocks in the NFL, it’s up to the player to sprint to the door to answer, no matter the circumstances.

Before the first 11-on-11 snap of Thursday’s practice at Green Bay Packers training camp, right guard Sean Rhyan was flagged for a false start. The coaches pulled Rhyan and inserted rookie Jacob Monk into the lineup with the No. 1 offensive line.

Not just for a play or two. Not just for the series. But for the rest of the day.

“It’s crazy lining up and seeing someone like Kenny Clark right in front of me and seeing the speed that he plays with and the intent that he has coming off the ball,” Monk said.
