I’m probably a little too hung up on the idea of Josh Myers playing guard. But you can’t blame me, really. It’s everyone else’s fault.

For starters, the Packers themselves list Myers as a “C/G” on the official team roster, just one of two players to receive that designation. The other is Jake Hanson, and for what it’s worth, he’s spent more time at guard than center in his still-young NFL career.

For another thing, literally the first thing any member of the Packers said about Myers when he was drafted in 2021 was that they liked his ability to play every interior line position — two of which, you might note, are guard spots.

“I don’t want to pin him to one exact thing, but I know he can play all three,” said director of college scouting Matt Malaspina. “If center is the best spot for him to play for us, he’ll play center. If it’s guard, he’ll play guard.”

There’s also the fact that Myers himself was a guard in college first before moving over to center, making the switch after redshirting as a guard his first year as a Buckeye.

Will it save his career? Maybe, though I don’t know if his career technically needs saving. He’s been okay to good for most of the time he’s been with the Packers, and he probably ends up looking worse than he actually is in part because Creed Humphrey, the guy taken one spot after him, has turned out to be an All-Pro at the same position.

But I do know that competition for Myers’ job is open and ongoing, and Zach Tom isn’t going anywhere soon. Given some liabilities in Jon Runyan’s game, maybe there should be some competition for more than one spot up front, and maybe Myers should be a part of it. Even if he doesn’t end up securing another job for himself, adding more to your game is never a bad idea, and if it helps the Packers get their best five linemen on the field, so much the better.
