Love Checking Boxes, Even With Frequent Checkdowns

GREEN BAY, Wis. – On five consecutive plays during Wednesday’s organized team activity, young Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love went through his reads before dumping the ball off to one of his running backs near the line of scrimmage.

It was an extreme example of how Love practiced in training camp last summer and how he’s practiced in the two OTAs open to reporters this offseason. While MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers would throw the ball here, there and everywhere, especially in a practice setting when there was nothing at stake beyond putting his receiver to the test, Love has mostly settled for checkdowns and rarely pushed the ball down the field.
