In the 2020 draft, Green Bay selected Jordan Love in the first round (26th overall). Similar to Rodgers (who sat behind Brett Favre for his first three seasons), Love sat behind Rodgers for his first three seasons (Love started one game total in that span). Rodgers won back-to-back MVPs in 2020 and 2021 (Love’s first two seasons), but after the 2022 season, Green Bay chose to move on from Rodgers as Love took over as QB1.
In each of his first two seasons as the starter, Love won nine starts and led the Packers to the playoffs. Prior to last season, he signed a four-year, $220 million extension (his $55 million AAV is tied for second most among all QBs behind Dak Prescott — $60M AAV).
This season, Love has completed 69.3% of his passes, throwing for 239.7 yards per game with 10 passing touchdowns and just two interceptions. Last season, he had nine interceptions through his first six starts.
Love has thrown at least one touchdown pass in each of the first six games this season. In Green Bay’s Week 4 tie at Dallas on “SNF,” he had season highs in passing yards (337) and passing touchdowns (3).
