GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Two days after the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round of the playoffs, Matt LaFleur suggested that the next step for quarterback Jordan Love was to "evolve as a vocal leader."
Four months later, the Packers coach likes what he has seen.
It doesn't stop there, either.
On Wednesday, after the first OTA practice that was open for viewing this spring, LaFleur came ready to challenge anyone who thought Love regressed last season in Year 2 as the starter.
