As All-Pro in 2020 and Packers’ starting center for the last seven seasons, Linsley will be the hardest player for the team to replace in 2021. He signed a lucrative deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are intriguing internal options, including Elgton Jenkins and Lucas Patrick, but the Packers should have several potential prospects to consider in the draft class. In fact, in the right situation, a few could be first-time starters.
Player Profile: Starting caliber center with above-average skill in pass protection, well-refined football intelligence for the snap and the ability to get moving and create alleys at the second level in the zone run game.
