Aaron Rodgers has not made any public comments about his situation with the Green Bay Packers. Two weeks ago, reports emerged stating that Rodgers wanted to leave the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers is apparently upset and frustrated with the franchise because they haven’t given him the right tools to succeed. Furthermore, the decision to draft rookie quarterback Jordan Love last season seemingly subbed the star the wrong way.

However, Aaron Rodgers has not held that against Jordan Love. At least not according to Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones. He noted that Rodgers was very helpful towards Jordan Love during practice sessions.

“Oh yes. You see him working with Jordan every day, all day, trying to teach him as much as he can. So that’s the cool part to see about A-Rod…Maybe it might be a play and what he saw. If it was like the first or the second or the third read.”

“Maybe what he saw or maybe a little bit on the mechanic side of it. It just goes into so many different things or it could be the sound or the cadence of them trying to catch them jumping offsides. Little things, so many things and he’s just trying to um better the players around him, truly.”

Whether Rodgers was unhappy about the selection of Jordan Love as his future replacement, he hasn’t let him feel that. If anything, Rodgers has done it all in his power to help Love feel more welcome in the franchise.

Despite the franchise not giving him a heads up about drafting him, Rodgers hasn’t held that against the youngster. But will Rodgers continue to mentor Jordan Love? That remains to be seen.
