2025 Packers Training Camp Preview: Sean Rhyan Turn On The Interior?

Green Bay, WI – July 7, 2025, 04:34 PM +07

As the Green Bay Packers gear up for training camp on July 23 at Ray Nitschke Field, all eyes are on the interior offensive line, where third-year guard Sean Rhyan could emerge as a breakout star. With the team aiming to rebound from a 10-7 season and a Wild Card loss in 2024, Rhyan’s prospects are a key storyline, as reported by ESPN.

Rhyan, a 2022 third-round pick from UCLA, started all 17 games at right guard in 2024, logging 1,023 snaps and helping the Packers rank fifth in rushing offense (140.8 yards per game). His 2024 PFF grade of 65.8, with a run-blocking score of 58.2 (81st out of 140 guards), shows promise, though his pass protection (four sacks allowed, 28 pressures) needs work. GM Brian Gutekunst sees upside, noting, “Sean’s shown growth, and camp will test his ceiling.”

The interior line faces a shakeup with Aaron Banks’ addition at left guard and Elgton Jenkins shifting to center, leaving right guard as Rhyan’s battleground. He’ll face competition from 2024 first-rounder Jordan Morgan, who impressed in OTAs with a 76.3 college PFF grade. Coach Matt LaFleur emphasized, “Sean’s got to step up; Jordan’s pushing hard.” Rhyan’s 6-foot-5, 321-pound frame and 2023 playoff experience—zero sacks allowed in two games—give him an edge, but consistency is key.

Injuries to Josh Myers (cut to Jets) and Rasheed Walker’s penalty issues (nine in 2024) open the door for Rhyan. His contract, expiring after 2025 with a $1.3 million cap hit, adds urgency. Fans on X are optimistic, with posts like “Rhyan could lock it down!” With $6.8 million cap space, the Packers can invest if he shines.

Rhyan’s camp performance could solidify him as a cornerstone, protecting Jordan Love (3,814 yards in 2024). Can he turn on the interior and power a Super Bowl LX run? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.
