More 2024 NFL Draft Profiles

The University of Arizona is primarily known as a blue-blood basketball team. However, the football program is not too shabby and has produced a fair share of NFL draft prospects. In the 2024 NFL Draft, another gem is brewing in Tucson, Arizona. His name is Jordan Morgan. Morgan was a three-star recruit out of Marana, Arizona, and he committed to Arizona. By his third season at Arizona, Morgan became a full-time starting left tackle and never looked back. He displayed quick feet and explosive athleticism and became a multiple-year all Pac-12 performer. Will his rise to stardom continue on the NFL level? Let’s dig into the film!

2024 NFL Draft: Jordan Morgan Scouting Report 

Morgan’s Strengths

  • He can play multiple positions on the offensive line. He can play tackle and be a heck of a guard.
  • Explodes out of his stance in the run. He is an easy mover in space on pulls, climbing to the second level and playing a screen game.
  • Thick well, well-built build to play multiple positions, and a frame to add weight plus strength.
  • He has quick feet and plays with a good base.
  • One of the best in the class at redirecting and creating good angles in the run game.
  • Big, strong hands to latch onto defenders and not let go.
  • Has guard and tackle versatility due to strength at the point of attack and athleticism.
  • Very good on down blocks and double teams, displacing defenders and slipping to second-level.

Morgan’s Weakness

  • Needs to improve at tackling. He will get exposed at the NFL level and seen as a weak link by pass rushers. Especially rushers that can be used inside counters.
  • Oversets way too far versus outside edge rushers on the regular. Leaves inside open and susceptible to the rusher while unable to use his leverage.
  • He gets beaten across the face by faster defenders showcasing heavy feet.
  • Gives up the inside way too often on stunts, twists, and games. He does not see stunts develop and is too wide to get square with the defender. Downright will get exposed at the NFL level until he gets his technique fixed.
  • Not a day-one starting offensive left tackle.

Projection: Second Round Pick

NFL Comparison: Matthew Bergeron

Best Fits: Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bottom Line

Jordan Morgan is a day-one starting guard in the NFL, with the athletic profile to move to tackle eventually. He has good athleticism, explosiveness out of his stance, and a feisty in-the-run game. He has good feet overall and can redirect defenders. However, consistency in his technique is much needed for Morgan to perform well at tackle. He over-sets too vast and creates a soft inside shoulder while losing leverage. He also tends to allow too much penetration on stunts, twists, and games, which can be trouble at the NFL level. NFL Comparison is Matthew Bergeron. Like Bergeron, Morgan should start at guard first, then move out to tackle after fixing technical flaws in his game. Expect a solid starter at multiple positions out of Jordan Morgan.

Packers Defensive Line

Change Is Coming For the Green Bay Packers Defensive Line

Before the 2009 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers ran a 4-3 defensive scheme. But that changed when then-head coach Mike McCarthy hired Dom Capers as his new defensive coordinator. Capers brought with him a 3-4 defensive scheme. That scheme, or at least a form of it, continued to be run after Capers departed in 2017. Mike Pettine and Joe Barry both ran a form of a 3-4 defense. But now, with the arrival of new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, the 3-4 departs, and the 4-3 enters. The new scheme means that the Green Bay Packers defensive line will have some learning to do in this year’s training camp.
