An All-Pro in 2020 and the Packers’ starting center for the last seven seasons, Linsley will be the toughest player for the team to replace in 2021. He signed a lucrative contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are interesting internal options, including Elgton Jenkins and Lucas Patrick, but the Packers should have several potential prospects in the draft class. In fact, some may be beginners in the right situation.
Player Profile: Start-caliber center with an above-average skill in pass protection, refined football intelligence before the turn and the ability to get going and create passages at the second level in the zone game.
Potential options
Creed Humphrey, Oklahoma
Landon Dickerson, Alabama
Quinn Meinerz, Wisconsin-Whitewater
Drew Dalman, Stanford
Josh Meyers, Ohio
Drake Jackson, Kentucky
Michal Menet, Penn State
Jimmy Morrissey, Pitt
