An All-Pro in 2020 and the Packers ’starting center for the past seven seasons, Linsley will be the hardest player to replace for the team in 2021. He signed a lucrative contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are intriguing inside options, including Elgton Jenkins and Lucas Patrick, but the Packers should have several potential prospects to consider in the draft phase. In fact, some might be novice beginners in a suitable situation.
Player profile: Initial caliber center with above-average skills in passing protection, well-refined football intelligence before the shot and ability to move and create alleys at the second level of 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
