The Green Bay Packers always had a vision for Jordan Love. That’s why they shocked the world by taking him in the first round, even if that meant infuriating Aaron Rodgers.
Fast forward to today, and Love has proved to be up to the task of being a starter, and he’s even looked like a potential star at times.
That’s why, despite some inconsistencies and questionable decision-making, head coach Matt LaFleur still has the utmost confidence in him.
“I’d hate to put a ceiling on him because I think he can be one of the elites in this league,” LaFleur told The Athletic.
Love took some pages out of Rodgers’ book. He’s been great at making the most of free plays, and his sidearm throws are just too similar to No. 12.
What he didn’t get from his mentor, however, was the consistency and the ability to take care of the football. Even so, Love knows he has what it takes to be among the best of the best.
“What those guys do at such a high level is just consistency with everything,” Love said. “I know I’m just as good as those guys and can be even better, so I think it comes down to going out there and making those plays on Sunday.”
Love is currently out with an injury that will most likely keep him sidelined until Week 1.
The Packers wide receiver corps has been the most decimated in the league, and with sky-high expectations for the season, all eyes will be on Love in 2025.
