Packers’ Jordan Morgan Bulks Up to Dominate Defenses

Green Bay, WI – July 22, 2025

The Green Bay Packers’ quest for a dominant offensive tackle has spotlighted rookie Jordan Morgan, who is reshaping his physique and reputation to prove he’s more than just a rotational lineman. After a 2024 season marked by criticism, Morgan is transforming to become a true threat to opposing defenses in Matt LaFleur’s scheme.

Drafted 25th overall, Morgan played 185 snaps at guard due to injuries but struggled at tackle, where LaFleur’s outside zone run game demands explosive footwork and agility. With only 1.5 pancake blocks and a 58.3 PFF grade, per Pro-Football-Reference.com, Morgan faced scrutiny on X for “clunky” movement and inconsistent pass protection. Fans and analysts questioned his fit, noting his 5.04-second 40-yard dash lacked the burst needed for LaFleur’s system, which led the NFL in play-action usage (25.2%) in 2024.

“They called me a project, not a starter,” Morgan said on Packernet Podcast. “I added 10 pounds of muscle to hit 315 pounds—not to quiet critics, but to anchor this line.” This offseason, Morgan focused on strength training and agility drills, trimming his 40-yard dash to 4.95 seconds, per team reports. His goal: dominate defensive ends in both run and pass plays, aligning with LaFleur’s versatile attack.

LaFleur, aiming to rebound from a 22-10 playoff loss to the Eagles, praised Morgan’s progress. “Jordan’s moving like a veteran now,” he said. “He’s battling Rasheed Walker for left tackle, and it’s pushing both to elevate.” With a $2.9 million cap hit, per Spotrac, Morgan is a cost-effective piece in a line featuring Aaron Banks and Elgton Jenkins.

With Josh Jacobs’ 1,307 rushing yards bolstering the run game, Morgan’s growth is critical for protecting Jordan Love and opening lanes. After an 11-6 season, per ESPN, the Packers eye Super Bowl LX. Fans on X are optimistic, projecting Morgan could allow just one sack in 2025 if his newfound power translates. His transformation signals he’s ready to be a cornerstone, not a placeholder, for Green Bay’s high-octane offense.

Entire Giants Fanbase Erupts Calling for Josh McDaniels to Come to MetLife After Loss to Patriots – But His Emotional Response Leaves Fans Stunned
Foxborough, Massachusetts – After the New England Patriots’ dominant 33-15 victory over the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium, football conversation exploded in a way no one saw coming. While the Patriots continued to solidify their status as the AFC’s top contender, the entire Giants fanbase turned its attention to one name on the opposite sideline: Josh McDaniels. The brilliance of Drake Maye and the New England offensive system sparked a wildfire at MetLife Stadium demanding the architect of that attack be brought to New York. On social media, the slogan “Bring McDaniels to MetLife” spread at lightning speed. They saw in him the figure who could resurrect a dying offense and redirect the career of a franchise desperately searching for its identity. With the Giants expected to make major changes in the offseason, McDaniels instantly became viewed as the ideal candidate — an offensive mind proven by every breakthrough Maye has displayed. But just hours after the recruitment wave peaked, the NFL community was left stunned by McDaniels’ decision. Instead of showing interest in the chance to lead one of the league’s most storied franchises, he gently but firmly shut down every overture from New York. McDaniels made it clear he is pouring his entire heart into the journey with the Patriots and has no desire to leave while the project he is building is still taking shape. In a statement that instantly set Patriots Nation ablaze, McDaniels shared: “I’m grateful for the interest, but I feel like I’m building something special here. Drake, Coach Vrabel, and this entire locker room — everything makes me believe New England still has many great chapters ahead. I want to stay and finish it.” Those words spread like wildfire, becoming a symbol of his commitment to the team. This decision not only reinforced Patriots fans’ faith but also sent a powerful message about the culture Vrabel is building. While many other teams are looking for head coaches as short-term fixes, McDaniels has chosen to stay with the long-term vision — where he sees his future and Drake Maye’s future as one. And with the Patriots soaring at 11-2, the NFL world may have just realized: in Foxborough, a new dynasty is taking shape.
