Browns Add Versatile Lineman Jenkins

0:00On March 15th, the Cleveland Browns made big moves this off-season to rebuild their offensive line from scratch. They traded for right tackle Titus Howard, signed a guard Zion Johnson, and brought in center Elton Jenkins, who can also play guard. Jenkins joins from the Green Bay Packers, where he spent seven years after being picked in the second round of the 2019 draft. He's shown he can handle center, both tackle positions, and left guard, earning all rookie honors that year, plus Pro Bowl nods in 2020 and 2022. Jenkins says he's focused on getting healthy and learning whatever spot the Browns need him at. He's stressed having an open mind and believes his skills translate anywhere on the line. With so many new faces, the exact starting lineup is still up in the air. But Jenkins noted the value in versatile players who can step in without dropping performance. That flexibility could be key as Cleveland jails this group and aims to protect their quarterback better moving forward.
