Jordan Love stunningly went from the quarterback the Packers shouldn’t have drafted to the quarterback worthy of getting a $220 million contract extension on Friday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Now in my 17th year on the Green Bay Packers beat, one practice tends to blend into another. However, there’s one practice I’ll never forget.
June 9, 2021, was different. It was the first sign of what Love could become, and what the Packers are paying for in theGoing back to 2021, that minicamp practice wasn’t exactly a jumping-off point. Love wasn’t very good on June 8 and he wasn’t very good on June 10, either. At that point, considering the circumstances, Love looked like one of the worst draft picks in NFL history.
Remember, the Packers in 2019 reached the NFC Championship Game. With Rodgers locked in at quarterback and with the team perhaps a player or two away from finally getting back to the Super Bowl, what would be the point of burning a first-round pick on a player who might never see the field? Everything fell apart for the Packers in 2022. They finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs. Rodgers wanted out, and the Packers granted him his wish and handed the keys of the offense to Love. His lone on-field success story was a late-game cameo at Philadelphia. Love was sharp that night, but the Packers trailed by two scores for both possessions, so the Eagles’ defense was playing soft.
