Throughout all the offseason turmoil between Aaron Rodgers and the front office of the Green Bay Packers, one thought was brought up on a few occasions: What must Jordan Love be thinking about all of this?
As it turns out, Rodgers was checking in on the other Packers quarterback on numerous instances and even checked to see how his backup was doing. The reigning MVP shared some of those thoughts Wednesday via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
“And then I just reached out; I reached out a number of times [to] check on him [and] see how he’s doing,” Rodgers said. “I didn’t hold things from him. I let him know where I was at mentally and what I was thinking about, and hopefully he appreciated that…I just felt that’s what I would want in that situation, just to hear from the guy. And also, there’s a love and an appreciation and a friendship there, just like it was with me and Brett.”
Rodgers knows all too well some of what Love was going through as it's similar to what happened when the Packers drafted Rodgers while they still had Brett Favre at the controls of Green Bay's offense.
“I have a lot of respect and love for Jordan, and I understand it’s got to be tough what he went through. I went through it for two years in the offseason, going in ’06 and ’07, I was the guy the entire offseason, going through quarterback school, going through most of the OTAs, taking all the reps, and then here comes Favrey coming back — and obviously I’m back on the bench.”
With No. 12 back in the fold for the Packers, it means another year for Love to watch and learn but it also means another year of Green Bay having a legitimate shot at winning the Super Bowl.
