The Green Bay Packers have consistently followed two key patterns when evaluating offensive linemen in the draft, prioritizing versatility and prototypical size. Georgia’s Micah Morris fits enough of that mold to be a legitimate under-the-radar Day 3 target, even if he checks only one of those boxes.
Morris logged 1,647 blocking snaps at guard during his time with the Bulldogs, with just 28 snaps coming at tackle. That lack of extensive tackle experience might normally be a concern for Green Bay, but their current roster construction gives them flexibility to approach the position differently.
Jordan Morgan and Zach Tom will hold down the tackle spots for the foreseeable future, so the Packers are not in a position where immediate versatility on the outside is a necessity. Even in the case of an injury, Anthony Belton projects much more naturally as a swing tackle than an interior option.
At 6'6", 336 lbs., his frame is built for the outside. That kind of depth gives Green Bay the flexibility to pass on a more positionally versatile prospect and instead focus on a player like Micah Morris, who offers stability at a specific spot.
There is value in Morris’ game. The former Bulldog generates strong upper-body power and has been highly efficient in pass protection. Across his career, he posted a 99.4% pass-blocking efficiency. In 2025 alone, he earned an 83.7 pass-block grade while allowing just four pressures all season.
Meanwhile, Morris is one of just three interior offensive line prospects since 2015 to check a specific mix of boxes in their best college season:
A true-pass-set grade above 75.
A zone-blocking grade below 75.
A Relative Athletic Score over 9.85, and hands measuring over 10”.
It’s a pretty unique profile, and it matches what shows up on tape. Morris has physical tools and pass protection upside, even if there’s still some room to grow in certain run concepts.
Morris fits the physical profile that Brian Gutekunst has consistently prioritized along the offensive line. At 336 lbs., he brings a powerful build, plays with heavy hands, and shows the kind of core strength and lower-body drive that allows him to consistently move defenders off the line of scrimmage and create push in the run game.
Like most rookies, Morris still has areas of his game that need refinement. His base can also narrow when he has to redirect in space, making it harder for him to recover consistently. Notably, he didn’t step into a full-time role until the 2025 season. He previously worked as a backup and spot starter, so there is still room for development. Improving how he handles inside counter moves and building more consistent conditioning over extended stretches will be key steps in his transition to the next level.
The fact that Morris spent most of his college career as a backup could discourage the Packers from selecting him, especially given how much they value experience and versatility. Still, there are enough intriguing traits in his profile that, if properly developed, could allow him to grow into a reliable NFL starter over time.
Micah Morris likely wouldn’t come into play until the middle to later portions of Day 3. Still, if he’s on the board when Green Bay is picking, there’s some logic in adding him to the interior group. The upside is there, and in that range of the draft, betting on tools and development is often worth it.
