Elgton Jenkins’ enthusiastic endorsement of Green Bay Packers offensive tackle is sure to ignite excitement among fans for what lies ahead.

Despite the disappointing conclusion to their season, the Green Bay Packers pleasantly shocked many with their playoff performance this year. According to Elgton Jenkins, Rasheed Walker is poised for significant growth in the upcoming season.

At the onset of the previous season, David Bakhtiari, although holding a substantial contract, grappled with injuries. This provided Walker with a chance to showcase his skills and demonstrate his value on the field for the Packers.

Walker rose to the occasion admirably when Bakhtiari was sidelined for much of the season, earning his first start in Week 2 and holding down the left tackle position until Week 8 when Yosh Nijman took over. Despite sharing the position with Nijman thereafter, Walker consistently performed exceptionally well throughout the season.

Some may even argue that his improvement was more significant than Jordan Love’s breakout season. Regardless, there is every reason to believe that Walker will be a starter once the next season kicks off.

With several years under his belt in the NFL, Jenkins has undoubtedly witnessed a great deal during his tenure in the league. Of particular note is Walker’s impressive performance, which has earned Jenkins’ admiration. According to the two-time Pro Bowler, as stated in an article on the Packers’ official website:

“He’s a standout player,” Jenkins remarked. “He possesses remarkable athleticism. The level of determination he brings on game day is truly exceptional. He has shown significant growth from his initial games to the latter part of the season when we made our playoff push.”

Given Walker’s talent and the trajectory of his career, there is every reason to expect his career to rapidly ascend. Additionally, with Love’s anticipated improvement during the offseason, Matt LaFleur’s coaching expertise, and the Packers’ anticipated strong performance, there is much to anticipate for Walker in the upcoming season.
