But they started day two by turning their attention toward the offensive side, specifically the offensive line.With the 44th overall selection, the Packers landed center Elgton Jenkins, who played multiple positions on the line in his college career. For Mississippi State, Jenkins started all 26 games at center over his final two years in Starkville after making starts at left tackle (5), left guard (2), and right tackle (1) in his first two collegiate seasons. A low-end three-star recruit out of high school, Jenkins’ grit and perseverance paid big dividends in ultimately becoming a second-round draft pick.At 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds, Jenkins offers good size for the interior line positions. He did not run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but he posted the seventh-best bench press number among all offensive linemen (29) and is lauded for his ability to anchor down. Jenkins’ hand placement and ability to gain leverage is efficient despite not having elite athleticism. Interestingly enough, new Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy spent time in Starkville last season as offensive coordinator & wide receivers coach https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Geronimo-Allison-Jersey , and was given a first-hand look at Jenkins.Curiously, Jenkins was announced at the draft podium as a guard despite catching the attention of NFL scouts for his play at center. Without a clear backup to Corey Linsley on the Packers’ roster, Jenkins will instantly provide a second-string option at the position and may be able to challenge newcomer Billy Turner for snaps at right guard. However, right guard is the one position on the line in which Jenkins has not made a start and it has been quite awhile since he saw consistent action at tackle to be counted on there. Still, Jenkins boasts plenty of SEC starting experience on his resume to be a quick contributor.Although Green Bay was able to add last year’s fifth-round pick Cole Madison back to the roster this month, it did not deter the Packers from bolstering the interior line’s depth early in the draft. After watching the Minnesota Vikings select NC State’s Garrett Bradbury in the first round yesterday, Green Bay drafted the second center of the draft just four selections before Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy was chosen by the New Orleans Saints.Barring a trade, the Packers will be back on the clock at pick 75 in the third round. The two new edge rushers get the biggest slices of this pie for their efforts in Green Bay this spring." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers are due to pay out $5.75 million in workout bonuses in 2019TwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesFor years, the workout bonus has been a significant piece of the puzzle when NFL players’ agents have negotiated contracts for their clients with the Green Bay Packers. For the 2019 season, the team appears to be setting a new franchise record in terms of total money paid out in this manner.Last season, the Packers paid out about $4.7 million in bonuses Oren Burks Jersey , while 2017 was a bit higher at just over $4.9 million. However, in 2019, the Packers are due to pay out a total of $5,755,500 in workout bonuses, which will go to 20 members of the team’s 90-man roster. For the most part, these players were signed as free agents or negotiated contract extensions with the team over the past several years, as the inclusion of this clause has been a key component to the team’s strategy. The effect of these bonuses is to effectively guarantee veterans’ attendance at the voluntary portion of the offseason workouts, which includes spring conditioning and OTA practices, the latter of which began on Monday.Interestingly, the two highest workout bonus numbers belong to two of the newest Packers Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , not the highest-paid person on the roster. Indeed, Aaron Rodgers’ workout bonus of half a million dollars is tied for third, coming in behind the two edge rushers the team signed as free agents. Za’Darius Smith takes the top spot among all players with a reported $750k bonus while Preston Smith’s bonus is just a bit less at $650k. The next tier of players includes Rodgers and new Packer safety Adrian Amos, who along with Davante Adams and David Bakhtiari will get a cool $500k apiece this offseason.On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Packers have been able to include workout bonuses in several third-round draft picks’ contracts in recent years. The three such players remaining on the roster — Oren Burks, Montravius Adams, and Kyler Fackrell — all have modest bonuses, coming in between $15k and $25k apiece. This is likely one of the sticking points with tight end Jace Sternberger, this year’s third-round pick and the only player in the Packers’ draft class who has yet to sign his contract.
