The Green Bay Packers think Jake Hanson – who is now healthy after dealing with a bum hip as a rookie – can be the offensive line’s replacement for Lucas Patrick, who gave the Packers depth and a starting-caliber player at any of the three interior positions, including center.
Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich didn’t hesitate when asked if Hanson has Patrick-like ability.
“Yeah. He has the ability to play any inside position and hopefully, he does a good job in these next preseason games and proves it,” Stenavich said Thursday.
Patrick signed with the Chicago Bears this offseason after starting 18 games and playing over 1,800 total snaps for the Packers over the last two years.
