Could Nevada's Strong Follow In Love's Footsteps? By AlaskaFan39 on Dec 15, 2020, 10:17am PST + Jordan Love was a riser in the 2020 NFL Draft and was selected in the first round by the Green Bay Packers in a surprising pick by the franchise due to the presence of Aaron Rodgers. He was touted as a first-round pick due to the quality of his performances over his three-year career at Utah State, although his junior season brought out the skeptics doubting his quality at an NFL level. The Packers moved to draft Love as the heir apparent to Rodgers even though the two-time MVP is still operating at the peak of his powers. It will be interesting to watch Love's career to see whether he can develop his skills behind a future Hall of Famer and perhaps even take the reins in the future at Lambeau Field.
