Packers head coach Matt LaFleur thinks Green Bay may get an immediate impact on its offensive line from rookie fifth-round draft pick Jager Burton.<\/p>\n
Burton was working with the first-string offensive line during minicamp, at both left guard and right guard, and LaFleur said Burton appears to be ready to play at the NFL level.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see a really young guy that\u2019s extremely coachable, athletic, and is maximizing the most of his opportunities,\u201d LaFleur said, via ESPN. \u201cSo I think every practice he gets a little bit more comfortable, a little bit better, and I can see him, he\u2019s definitely going to be in the mix to compete for playing time this year<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The 6-foot-4, 312-pound Burton spent five years at Kentucky, redshirting the first one and then becoming a four-year starter after that. He has a wealth of experience playing at a high level of college football in the SEC, and he may be ready to play in the NFL in Week One of his rookie season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packers head coach Matt LaFleur thinks Green Bay may get an immediate impact on its offensive line from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":709345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-709344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=709344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/709345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=709344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=709344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=709344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
