Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who signed a 4-year, $220M extension on Friday, says there's always pressure as a first-round pick and being a starter in the NFL.

The Packers rewarded Love even though he has only one full season as a starting quarterback to his credit. The 2020 first-round pick spent three years as Aaron Rodgers' backup. After an up-and-down start to last season, Love finished on a tear with 18 touchdowns and just one interception over the final eight games to lead the Packers to the playoffs. He's largely the reason the Packers are considered one of the NFC's Super Bowl contenders.
He did it while trying to follow in the footsteps of Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion, which is another reason LaFleur believes Love can handle the gravity of this contract and being the face of the franchise.
