Aaron Rodgers Is Already Praising New Packers’ Center Josh Myers
Green Bay Packers drafted Josh Myers in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft. When Myers was selected, the thought Green Bay had with him is that he would replace Corey Linsley. Maybe not immediately, but he is Linsley’s replacement. It was weird that they’re both from Ohio State, and they wear the same number. Well, Myers is already making an impact for the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers joined the NFL Network crew on Saturday and was asked ‘An under-the-radar guy for the Packers?’ Rodgers talked about his young center.
James Jones asked Aaron Rodgers on NFL Network today for an under-the-radar guy who can really help the Packers' offense.
Rodgers: "I gotta say the center, Josh Myers. For a guy to come in as a draft pick, as a rookie, and to be that comfortable, it's pretty impressive."

Myers taking the starting job it seems on Day 3 of Training Camp is awesome. That is the type of stuff you love to see honestly. Rodgers already feeling good about his battery mate at the center position is also encouraging. Myers said that he and Linsley talk all the time, so, that’s a good thing in terms of getting him prepped for what to expect in a Packers’ uniform. It will be a little different when Myers actually hits the field for the Packers, but this is a great, great start.
Brian Gutekunst got a lot of shit from Packers fans in the last week, but just remember, the guy rarely misses on offensive linemen. This is his bread and butter. We’ll see how Myers does against live competition, but this is a nice feather in Gutey’s hat.
