Perhaps the latest Green Bay Packers first-round pick won’t play a significant decline in football next season.
However, the Packers’ story is likely to be the first-round pick, be it Jordan Love, Mercedes Lewis, or everyone Green Bay has ever selected.
Love recently signed his rookie contract with the Packers, the last step for the team in an unpredictable offseason that really started when Love was selected, becoming the third quarterback selected in the first round by Green Bay with a QB who previously he had won the most valuable player. still on the list, according to NFL Research.
Going forward, a prevalent question for the Packers’ fortune is that, in addition to Rodgers and company not receiving immediate first-round help, will too much love talk become a distraction?

While Love was taken in the first round and running back AJ Dillion was taken in the second despite the presence of Aaron Jones and his career season last year, no help was selected for wide receiver for Rodgers or wide receiver. No. 1 Devante Adams, who has been a one-man show in the body of WR for several seasons now.
Meanwhile, a now-infamous statistic emerged when Rodgers threw just one career touchdown pass to a first-round pick, the least at a mile per country among the eight quarterbacks in NFL history to have earned multiple accolades. of most valuable players. Rodgers, whose unique first-round player score didn’t come until Lewis last season, who was drafted in the opening round of the 2006 draft by the Jaguars, has 60 touchdown passes behind Johnny Unitas, whose 61 was the first. round picks are the second least among multi-time MVPs, according to NFL Research.
As soon as Love was drafted, the similarities between the Packers who drafted Rodgers with Brett Favre still came to the fore. Looking back on that situation, though, Rodgers did go handstand for three seasons, and Love is very much a project. In his last season in Utah, Love led FBS with 17 interceptions. In contrast, Rodgers’ career is high in the nfl He was 13 years old during his first season as a starter.
With a hole that seemed to dazzle most in the widths, the Packers were instead one of 10 NFL teams that did not select a wide receiver this previous draft. According to NFL Research, Green Bay has not chosen a wide receiver in the first round since Javon Walker in 2002.
Perhaps that is a testament to how good Rodgers has been, having had an exceptional career with second-round highlights like Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and now Adams, who is probably the best of that second-round group.
