“When he gets on that field, his arm, the talent, I’m like man I think when he gets truly comfortable in his capabilities, what he can do, and also within the offense…The sky’s the limit for that dude”

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love continues to gain recognition from teammates and analysts alike, and the latest endorsement comes from none other than newly acquired running back Josh Jacobs. In a recent interview with former NFL head coach Jon Gruden, Jacobs spoke highly of Love’s potential, emphasizing his talent and growth within the Packers’ system.
“When he gets on that field, his arm, the talent, I’m like man I think when he gets truly comfortable in his capabilities, what he can do, and also within the offense… The sky’s the limit for that dude,” Jacobs said.
This praise comes at a crucial time as Love enters his second full season as Green Bay’s starting quarterback. After sitting behind Aaron Rodgers for three years, the young signal-caller showed flashes of brilliance in 2023, leading the Packers to the playoffs with an impressive late-season surge. Now, with a full offseason to build chemistry with his teammates—including Jacobs, who joined the team in free agency—the expectations for Love are higher than ever.
Jacobs’ words highlight the confidence within the Packers’ locker room regarding Love’s abilities. With a strong arm, poise under pressure, and growing command of the offense, Love has the tools to become one of the league’s top quarterbacks. If he continues to develop as Jacobs predicts, Green Bay could have their next franchise cornerstone under center.
As the 2024 NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on Jordan Love to see if he can take that next step. If his teammates’ belief in him is any indication, the Packers may have something special brewing in Green Bay.
