After more than a decade-long stint, Aaron Rodgers has finally left the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are now without a rudder as their star QB has been traded away. Amidst this confusion, the organization is likely to go forward with their young rookie QB, Jordan Love. However, there has been some friendly chatter on the internet.

In fact, an NBA champion has joked about filling in for Rodgers as the shot caller for the Packers. NBA champ, Giannis Antetukumpo has jokingly claimed that he would make a great QB for the Packers. He even took to Instagram to speak about this and fans were absolutely ecstatic.

All in all, fans did not seem to like the idea of Love going on to replace Rodgers. They even seemed okay with an NBA forward coming in instead of Love. While the comments section was wild, it is very likely that Love will be coming in as QB1 for the Packers. It only remains to be seen if his performance impresses or disappoints fans.
