And now, the time has finally come for the 24-year-old to showcase if he will be able to continue the legacy of Rodgers and Brett Favre in Green Bay.
But amidst all the buzz around Love’s debut as QB1 for the team, his time with the Packers has always been filled with drama. And recently, Pat McAfee and Co have come forward to discuss the reality that awaits Love as he suits up to lead the team in the upcoming season of the league.
