Packers' Matt LaFleur Raves About Jordan Love: ‘He’s the Best I’ve Been Around’

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been making waves in the NFL since his breakout rookie season in 2020. Despite a few injuries, Love has continued to improve and refine his skills. Now in his fourth year as the Packers' starting quarterback, following the departure of Aaron Rodgers, many are anticipating a stellar performance from Love.

During a recent interview with NFL Network, his head coach Matt LaFleur expressed his admiration for Love's abilities. LaFleur specifically commended Love's proficiency in protecting the quarterback, making adjustments on the fly, and his ability to resist being outmaneuvered by opposing defenses. LaFleur emphasized that Love's skills were not innate, but rather a result of learning from Rodgers and his own experiences.

This praise caught the attention of host Stacey Dales, who questioned LaFleur's perspective after working with Rodgers, a four-time MVP and Super Bowl champion. LaFleur defended his statement, highlighting Love's uncanny ability to excel in critical situations. Since replacing Rodgers, Love has established himself as one of the league's elite passers, boasting a 27-20-1 record as a starter and throwing for 11,535 yards, 83 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions with a passer rating of 96.8.

With a roster filled with talented players like running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Jayden Reed, Love is poised for what promises to be his best season yet in 2023.
