It’s not easy living in the shadow of one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the sport, and this is the exact situation Jordan Love has found himself in as Aaron Rodgers’ heir apparent for the Green Bay Packers.
Love didn’t exactly do himself any favors with a rather disappointing performance in the Packers’ 28-21 preseason loss against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday. The 23-year-old ended up turning over the ball on three straight drives, which does not bode well for his outlook for his second season with Green Bay.
After the game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur quickly came to the defense of Love.
