Packers offensive line in top five of PFF rankings for 2022

Pro Football Focus has ranked the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line inside the top five ahead of the 2022 season.

Crucial to the success of the Green Bay Packers‘ offense in recent years has been the performance of the offensive line.

Even after losing veterans Billy Turner, Lucas Patrick, and Dennis Kelly this offseason, the Packers’ offensive line is still expected to be one of the best in the league.

Ahead of the 2022 season, Pro Football Focus’ Mike Renner has ranked the top five offensive lines in the NFL. He has Green Bay at No. 5.

It is hard to have too many arguments with this list.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns both have excellent offensive lines, and the Detroit Lions should be applauded for how they have strengthened their line in recent years.

The Packers’ offensive line has sky-high potential but does feature some unproven players like rookies Sean Rhyan, Zach Tom, and Rasheed Walker.

The talent is there and the Packers have a good blend of experience and youth.

Returning from injury this season is five-time All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari. If he can get back to his best, edge rushers won’t enjoy much success against the left side of Green Bay’s offensive line.

Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins could miss the start of the 2022 season as he recovers from an ACL tear, but he should make his return at some point. He will likely play at right tackle with Billy Turner gone, but he could also play any other position if needed.

Josh Myers, the Packers’ second-round pick a year ago, impressed as a rookie and should continue at the starting center.

The two guard spots are up for grabs this summer and there will be plenty of competition with Jon Runyan, Royce Newman, Rhyan, and Tom all strong candidates to start.

The Packers’ offensive line deserves to be in the top five.

I hope so, but this projection poses a question...don't you have to know who your starting 5 are before you can make a ranking like this?

I don't want to be difficult, but we don't know 40% of the equation at this point...and that is assuming we know Runyan will be one of the starters, otherwise, we don't know 60%.

Go Packers!!!!

Btw...

On the offensive line, the first team group from left to right was Yosh Nijman, Jon Runyan, Josh Myers, Royce Newman and Cole Van Lanen. The second team group was Nijman, Runyan, Myers, Jake Hanson and Newman.

In other news...

QB Jordan Love received first team reps in OTA’s with Aaron Rodgers’ absence. Love said he has “more confidence and greater comfort” in the Packers system. Additionally, rookie WR’s Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs were running with the first team.

Players like Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and De’Vondre Campbell were seen on special teams units. Getting reps at punt return were Amari Rodgers, Randall Cobb and Romeo Doubs.

Tyler Davis better produce. Just sayin.

*Head Coach Matt LaFleur spoke about his excitement for TE Tyler Davis, the former college Quarterback. He has been impressive this off-season.

*Darnell Savage, who the Packers picked up his 5th year rookie option on, made a few splash plays during OTA’s.

Saying the 0-line will be top 5 at this point is just a guess. Like was already said, we don't even know who will be starting right now. Will Bactiari (spelling) even be back to pre injury form?
Will the new guys be good?
No one knows right now.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
