Many people in the Packers’ Internet media think Elgton Jenkins should be the Offensive Rookie of the Year. As you know, lineman does not get that award. The award typically goes to a quarterback, running back or wide receiver. That’s it. But Elgton Jenkins of the Packers has been so good as a lineman, he deserves some recognition for his play this season. There is a way to create some papable buzz about Jenkins, and I’m here to tell you how it gets done.

Before that, let’s point out what he’s done this year to make him a Rookie of the Year candidate. Jenkins has not allowed one sack or quarterback hit. He also allowed only 10 pressures all season. As a guard, he’s winning his matchups with the defensive linemen 97 percent of the time. The only guard who is better is Marshall Yanda of the Baltimore Ravens. Yanda is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Now, that we have the resume here’s how we make it happen.

1. Aaron Rodgers needs to stump for him – The only way that this gets off the ground is if QB1 says something in one of his press conferences. Rodgers mentions how Jenkins does things impressively and should be considered for the Rookie of the Year. Rodgers can also give the voters a hard time about not giving the linemen any love. I do think David Bakhtiari could also make a case, but lineman-to-lineman isn’t as effective.

2. Cris Collinsworth needs to float it on Sunday Night Football – Don’t be surprised if this happens, by the way. Collinsworth, the NBC analyst, watches the offensive line more than anything else on the field. I guarantee you he will be singing the praises of Jenkins on Sunday Night.

3. One big talk show to talk about Jenkins for ROY – It does not matter which one does it, but we need one of the big talking heads shows to discuss the possibility. Undisputed with Skip and Shannon. Get Up. First Take. Collin Cowherd Show. Any of those would be great for the potential of Jenkins winning Rookie of the Year. It is likely impossible, but if there is an actual narrative behind it, he has a shot.

If you haven’t watched Jenkins during a game, I recommend spending a few plays with him on Sunday night. He is a complete beast.
