Packers expected to be patient with Jordan Love

There is no doubt that the Green Bay Packers might have surprised many when they selected quarterback Jordan Love out of Utah State with their first-round pick, 26th overall, in the 2020 National Football League Draft. For a team that seemed to have needed to upgrade their offense by selecting an elite wide receiver to complement Davante Adams, the decision to draft a quarterback in the first round might have seemed a little puzzling when they already had Aaron Rodgers.

However for some, the drafting of Love may actually make a bit of sense. The Aggies product from Bakersfield has time to learn the Packers system under one of the NFL’s very best.

Does this actually sound familiar? It should. In 2005, the Packers drafted Rodgers out of the University of California with their first-round pick, 24th overall. At the time, many were surprised because Green Bay had Brett Favre. However, Rodgers was Favre’s backup for the next three years, and by the time the 2008 NFL season started, Favre retired for the first time and Rodgers was ready to quarterback Green Bay.

Three seasons in as a starter, Rodgers guided Green Bay to a Super Bowl title and was named Super Bowl MVP as the Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25. Rodgers was then named NFL MVP in 2011 and 2014, and has been selected to eight Pro Bowls.

The Packers will be hoping that they continue to develop the quarterback position within the organization. Does it mean Rodgers is done in Green Bay? In going by past history, the answer is no. However when Rodgers decides it is time to retire, the Packers might have a quarterback ready to be the starter in Jordan Love.
