Jordan Morgan

GBPOT • #77

Packers selected Arizona OT Jordan Morgan with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

An unheralded low three-star recruit who was rated as the 137th tackle prospect from the 2019 prep class according to 247Sports, Morgan (6’5/311) rapidly worked his way up the depth chart. New HC Jedd Fisch arrived in 2021 to rebuild the program following the disastrous HC Kevin Sumlin regime. Morgan took his lumps playing for a 1-11 team in his first full season as a starting LT, allowing five sacks and 27 pressures in 706 reps to go with a 53.6 PFF overall grade. The leap came in 2022 when he produced a 97.8% block efficiency rate and allowed just one sack, two penalties and 17 pressures while recording an 82nd percentile pass block grade and achieving AP first-team All-Pac-12 accolades for his standout play. That’s the good news. The bad news is he tore his ACL late in the season against UCLA in Week 11, which threatened to derail his 2023 campaign. Morgan made a miraculous recovery by posting the sixth-highest PFF pass block grade in the country (87.3) with a 0.0% blown run block rate in 311 opportunities last year. He allowed just two sacks with a 98.3% blocking efficiency rate and had one of his best games against UCLA’s ferocious edge group that boasts Laiatu Latu and the Murphy brothers, all of whom will be drafted in 2024. His 1.69s 10-yard split is an elite 98th% mark and his 9’02 broad jump ranks in 87th percentile among historical NFL Draft tackle prospects. Morgan’s 9.10 RAS proves that he is fully recovered from his late-2022 ACL tear and ready to compete for a starting spot in Year 1, despite lack of ideal length (32.875” arms).
