Last season, 30 quarterbacks started at least nine games. Love finished sixth with a 101.2 passer rating and eighth in yards per attempt. He was tied for eighth in touchdown percentage and tied for seventh in interception percentage \u2013 one of only four passers in the top 10 in each category.<\/p>\n
In a huge step in the right direction, Love set career highs in completion percentage and interception percentage. <\/p>\n
Now, Love is trying to tighten his game even more.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy biggest thing that I\u2019ve noticed since I got back is just my feet in the pocket, trying to be as smooth and consistent as possible,\u201d Love said at minicamp. \u201cWhen I go through my reads, get into my hitches and not getting antsy, not getting to that point where you\u2019re trying to move through the pocket too fast. Just staying calm, staying relaxed, move through my reads. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019ve got to move around in the pocket, keeping those movements pretty tight and not kind of running into where guys might be peeling off and able to hit you. So just really trying to focus on my feet, my pocket movements. Obviously, I think all those things are tied to accuracy and just the timing of routes and things like that, so just trying to be as dialed in as possible. That\u2019s the biggest thing I\u2019ve been trying to work on so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
Love topped 4,100 passing yards and 30 touchdown passes during his first season as the starter in 2023. The last two seasons, he\u2019s averaged 3,385 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that when you meet with him and talk with him that he wants to get better at, and that\u2019s great,\u201d offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said at the start of the offseason program.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always a very prepared person, sets his goals and everything like that. And I think for him, just taking as much control of the offense as he can. Being the best leader for the guys is going to be huge, not only for the offense, but for the entire team. Just keep developing in that role, and then we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
