Jordan Love is set to fill some big shoes as the Packers starting quarterback after Aaron Rodgers left the organization following 18 seasons in Green Bay.
Since it’s something of a “passing of the torch” moment, it’s only fitting that the new Jets quarterback reached out to his successor this week during training camp.
“Aaron reached out to me last night ... yeah, he said ‘Just be yourself, have fun, enjoy it,’” Love told media on Wednesday, via Packer Central’s Bill Huber. “It’s obviously my time now, so he just said ‘be yourself.’ I mean, that’s all you can do. That’s kind of been the message from everybody is ‘be yourself, don’t try to be anybody else, don’t try to be Aaron,’ and things like that.”
