Packers Morning Buzz: Praise pouring in for rookie guard Elgton Jenkins

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with the Packers landing a player in ESPN's top-10 rookie rankings, and it's not either of their two first-round draft picks.

Here's the call from ESPN Senior Writer Jeff Legwold:

9. Elgton Jenkins, G, Green Bay Packers

Stats: 10 starts
Drafted: No. 44 overall
Previous rank: NR

Jenkins has played every snap in the past 10 games and has not allowed a sack in a one-on-one situation since he entered the starting lineup. He's part of the reason quarterback Aaron Rodgers is having one of the cleanest seasons of his career (he's been sacked just 27 times, and he's been sacked fewer than 30 times only once in any season he started 16 games).

And Jenkins makes the cut for the All-Rookie offense via NFL.com's Chris Wesseling, who writes:

Aaron Rodgers has credited this year's offensive line as one of the most reliable of his career, with Jenkins taking over as the starter in Week 3. While former All-Pro David Bakhtiari has mixed in a few clunkers this season, Jenkins is a rock in pass protection.
