Biggest winner- Jordan Love

With Rodgers skipping the Packers’ mandatory minicamp, the biggest winner from it all will be QB Jordan Love. The QB drafted in 2020 as the man to replace Aaron Rodgers will finally get his time in the spotlight.

With Rodgers not showing up, Love has the perfect opportunity to take starting quarterback reps. Something he hasn’t been able to do due to the towering presence of Aaron Rodgers.

This will also give the young quarterback time to gel in with his wide receivers and figure out the ropes. After all, if this hold out continues, it will be Love who will start for the Packers come Week 1. 

With no prior experience of starting an NFL game, this is Love’s time to shine. And he surely will be looking to make the most of it.
