There was considerable hype surrounding rookie Jordan Love ahead of the 2020 NFL draft. After a stellar 2019 season with Utah State, the California-born athlete announced that he would forego his senior year and declare for the NFL draft. Love completed 267 of 417 passes and posted 3,567 passing yards with 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2018.

He was being courted by a bunch of teams. However, the Green Bay Packers shocked the entire NFL fraternity by trading up and drafting Love as the 26th pick in the first round. Fans were stunned by the Packers’ decision to do so, especially when they needed reinforcements in the wideout department.
