GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - The Green Bay Packers have released offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced Monday.
Gutekunst’s statement
---------------------
“Elgton established himself as one of the best and most versatile offensive linemen in the league during his time in Green Bay,” Gutekunst said. “He contributed so much to our success over the past seven seasons and was a tremendous leader and teammate who brought an unselfishness and toughness to our team. We want to thank Elgton for all that he gave to this franchise, and we wish him nothing but the best in the future.”
Career in Green Bay
-------------------
Jenkins was selected by Green Bay in the second round (No. 44 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He appeared in 96 games with 94 starts over seven seasons, starting at four different positions — 67 at left guard, 13 at center, eight at left tackle, and six at right tackle.
From 2019-25, Jenkins was part of an offensive line that ranked first in the NFL in sacks allowed (203) and fourth in sacks allowed per passing play (5.1%).
Jenkins earned Pro Bowl selections in 2020 and 2022, becoming the third offensive lineman in Packers history to be named to the Pro Bowl within his first two seasons in the league, joining Deral Teteak (1952) and Charley Brock (1940). He was also named to the PFWA All-Rookie team in 2019, only the second Packers guard to receive that honor since 1974, following Daryn Colledge in 2006.
In 2020, Jenkins started games at left guard, center, and right tackle — the first Green Bay offensive lineman to start at guard, center, and tackle in the same season since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
