2026 Outlook
Kentucky offensive lineman Jager Burton was picked in round 5 (153rd overall) by Green Bay and is trending as a potential late-round steal. A routine standout at OTAs, his performance carried over into mandatory minicamp, where he lined up as a starter with the first-team offense. His early work with the starters comes despite injuries to Aaron Banks and Zach Tom, creating opportunities to demonstrate his readiness. The Packers appear confident in Burton's ability to contribute early. (per NFL Draft Rookies Who Are Suddenly Impossible to Ignore at OTAs)
