“Lot to clean up right now” – Green Bay Packers Coach Gives Jordan Love Update
Follow Us
It’s been a roller-coaster of a few months for young California-born quarterback Jordan Love. The highly-rated Utah State product was picked by Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. Everyone, including veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was stunned by the decision to bring Love to Lambeau Field.
Fans and critics alike have accused the Packers management of ‘disrespecting’ franchise legend Aaron Rodgers by drafting a quarterback. The two-time NFL MVP winner led the Packers to the Championship game last year. A-Rod endured a tough outing in that game as they lost to a determined San Francisco 49ers outfit.
Packers head coach Matt LeFleur had earlier said that Rodgers will be the starting quarterback this season. But how does he feel about the young and charismatic Jordan Love?

“He’s very natural. There’s a lot to clean up right now. He’s a young quarterback that is learning a new system, and just how specific we are with the footwork. I think that takes time. But I am pleased at how he attacks it on a daily basis.”
“I think he’s a really intelligent kid. And he’s very athletic. So, I think it’s a matter of time before he can pick up the mechanics. But, our challenge to him each and everyday, is just you gotta get that one percent better,” Matt LeFleur told NFL Network.
