When the Packers parted ways with Aaron Rodgers, they turned to Jordan Love—a largely untested prospect. Even though he showed promise in college at Utah State, fans understandably wondered if that would translate to the NFL. Love had a few years to learn behind a Hall of Fame quarterback, but real expectations began when he stepped into the starting role.
In his first full season as the starter, Love sprang into action. He passed for almost 4,200 yards and threw 32 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. His strong finish convinced the team to offer him a major contract extension. Recently, on SiriusXM Radio, Love spoke candidly about what that meant to him.
He said the most meaningful part wasn’t the money—it was knowing the Packers trusted him to lead the team. That vote of confidence spoke volumes. He also mentioned how committed he feels to delivering his best each day, honoring the team’s faith in him.
Last season saw some setbacks. Love’s production slipped, largely due to an early-season injury of his own and key injuries among his receivers. Despite that, the organization remains optimistic. The signal is clear: with better health around him and ongoing support, he’s poised for a strong comeback.
What stands out most are the lasting impressions he’s built among teammates and coaches. His work ethic and leadership have resonated throughout the locker room. With the fan base behind him and backup from the coaching staff, Love appears well-equipped to guide the Packers toward another deep postseason run.
