Packers Warn Rasheed Walker About Form Amid Jordan Morgan’s Rise

Green Bay, WI – July 6, 2025

The Green Bay Packers have issued a stern warning to offensive tackle Rasheed Walker about his performance as rookie Jordan Morgan emerges as a formidable challenger, sources told ESPN on Sunday. The development has intensified competition along the offensive line ahead of training camp.

Walker, a seventh-round pick from 2023, started all 17 games in 2024, playing 1,075 snaps (99.2%) and helping the Packers rank second in sacks allowed (22) and fifth in total offense (370.8 yards per game). However, his 2024 PFF grade of 68.4—marked by three sacks allowed, nine penalties, and a run-blocking score of 54.1 (107th out of 140 tackles)—has raised concerns. GM Brian Gutekunst emphasized the need for improvement, stating, “Rasheed’s done well, but he must elevate his game. Competition is heating up.”

Enter Jordan Morgan, the 2024 first-round pick (25th overall) from Arizona, who has impressed during OTAs and minicamp. Morgan, with a college PFF grade of 76.3 and versatility across the line, has taken first-team reps, outshining Walker in pass protection drills, per Packers Wire. Coach Matt LaFleur praised Morgan’s progress, saying, “Jordan’s showing he’s ready to compete for that spot.”

The warning comes as the Packers, with $6.8 million in cap space, prepare for training camp on July 23. Walker’s contract expires after 2025, adding urgency to prove his worth against the 22-year-old Morgan, who boasts a 6-foot-5, 311-pound frame. Fans on X are divided, with some urging Walker to step up (“Rasheed needs to fight!”) while others back Morgan (“Time for the rookie to shine!”).

Walker’s playoff performance in 2023—zero sacks allowed in two games—offers hope, but his 2024 penalties and pressures signal vulnerability. LaFleur added, “We love Rasheed’s effort, but he’s got to match Jordan’s hunger.” With the offensive line critical to protecting Jordan Love (3,814 yards in 2024), the battle is on.

Can Walker reclaim his edge, or will Morgan seize the left tackle role? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.

Packers Cheerleader Sues a Packers Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the Green Bay Packers is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Packers Cheer Squad – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Packers history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Green Bay Packers in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Packers Cheer Squad group. She is a former student at the University of Wisconsin, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Marquette University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Lambeau Field, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Packers. As part of the Packers Cheer Squad team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Packers games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_packers) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Packers, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with a Packers player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Packers – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Packers are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Packers "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
