3 Best Packers Players Under 25

The Green Bay Packers are a team that has always built through the draft, with little talent brought in via free agency or trades. In order to have success with this approach, the youth they take in the draft needs to pan out.

They have overall been successful throughout their history, and a NFC Championship birth last season would point to a success in 2019 as well, which means they must have some talented youth on this roster. These are the three best Packers under the age of 25.

All Packers rookies are excluded, since we have not seen what they can do in the NFL quite yet.

Equanimeous St. Brown was placed on season-ending IR last August, so this may be a name many who aren't Green Bay or Notre Dame fans don't know. The 6-foot-5 athletic freak was viewed as a raw prospect, finishing with 328 yards in his rookie year. In his most recent game, he caught five passes for 94 yards, showing his potential. The growth of St. Brown may be the sole reason the Packers didn't draft a wide receiver when many thought they would.

2. Allen Lazard, WR (24)

Allen Lazard surprised many last season, fighting his way to the No. 2 wide receiver role, after being promoted from the practice squad. Lazard is another young 6-foot-5 wide receiver, giving the Packers a couple massive, young targets. He totaled 477 yards last season, including one 100-yard game.

1. Elgton Jenkins, OG (24)

As a rookie, interior offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins really stepped up last season. In college, he had experience at center, left guard and both tackle spots, When Lane Taylor was injured last season, Jenkins slid into the starting left guard spot and held his own, showing he was a terrific pick in the second round last season. He will be a valuable part of this offensive line group for years to come, due to his versatility and the ability to perform well in multiple positions.
