Could Friday night’s preseason opener be the start of a breakout second season for Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers?
No offensive lineman – tackle, guard or center – received a higher overall grade from Pro Football Focus during Week 1 of the preseason than Myers, who played 36 snaps in the first half of the Packers’ 28-21 loss to the 49ers on Friday night and finished with an elite grade of 92.2.
Per PFF, Myers didn’t allow a single pressure over 22 pass-blocking snaps and finished as the fifth-highest graded run blocker overall.
The 49ers started Javon Kinlaw, Kevin Givens, Kerry Hyder and Jordan Willis along the defensive front in the preseason opener, and former first-round pick Robert Nkemdiche and veteran Akeem Spence also got snaps in the first half.
