Green Bay Packers rookie Jordan Morgan expressed deep admiration for defensive tackle Kenny Clark’s work ethic after his first year, sources told ESPN. The young star’s praise fuels the team’s 2025 Super Bowl ambitions.
Morgan, a 2024 first-round pick from Arizona, was awestruck by Clark during minicamp. “Kenny’s always the first at Lambeau Field. Morning workouts kick off at 9 a.m. I’d roll in at 8, and Clark’s already there,” he said.
“One day, I showed up at 7:30—still there,” Morgan continued. “So, I thought, ‘I’ll beat him.’ Got there at 6 one morning, and guess what? Kenny was already grinding.” His words, shared on X, thrilled Cheeseheads.
Clark, the 2024 Pro Bowler, anchored Green Bay’s defense with 37 tackles despite a foot injury, per NFL.com. Morgan, who started 12 games as a rookie guard, credits Clark’s grind for his own growth, per Pro Football Focus.
Cheeseheads raved on X: “Morgan sees Clark’s hustle—future’s bright!” (@PackersFan4Life). Morgan’s bond with Clark, evident in their shared early workouts, boosts optimism after a turbulent offseason, per The Athletic.
Coach Matt LaFleur praised Clark’s influence: “Kenny sets the standard,” per Packers.com. Morgan’s OTA dedication, mentored by Clark, earned him a starting role alongside Elgton Jenkins, despite a 2024 ankle tweak.
Morgan’s nod to Clark’s early arrivals echoes teammates like Rashan Gary, per ESPN. With $22 million in cap space limiting moves, Clark’s leadership is vital, per Spotrac, as the Packers eye a Week 1 clash with the Vikings.
As training camp nears, Morgan’s awe for Clark’s work ethic inspires Packers fans. Can their partnership propel Green Bay to a Super Bowl? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates on this dynamic duo.
