Jordan Love prepares for his fifth NFL season and third year as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback. He has performed well to this point, embracing the challenge of replacing future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers and showing steady growth under center.

The Packers starting quarterback still has a long journey ahead before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Aaron Rodgers. However, at just 26 years old, the former Utah State standout has a real chance to raise his profile with a strong showing in the 2025 NFL season. Love seems locked in, recently posting on Instagram to signal that he’s prepared for whatever challenges await him and the Packers this year.

“Almost that time ⌛️,” Love wrote in a social media post, which featured a black-and-white photo of him standing on the field.

Now heading into his third year as the Packers’ starting quarterback, Jordan Love will lead an offense that appears loaded with talent. Returning receivers Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks give the group plenty of familiarity, while rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams bring added depth to an already promising unit.

The offensive line gained crucial support with the additions of veteran guard Aaron Banks and second-round pick Anthony Belton. With Malik Willis back as the backup quarterback following three wins in 2024, the offense enters the season with depth and versatility.

Green Bay’s defense brings a physical edge with a front led by Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Preston Smith, Lukas Van Ness, and Rashan Gary. This group aims to dominate the trenches, pressure opposing quarterbacks, and give Jordan Love and the offense plenty of chances to capitalize.

Fans will closely watch the Packers’ offense this summer, focusing on Jordan Love’s timing with his emerging receivers, how quickly the rebuilt offensive line solidifies, and which backup quarterback claims the No. 2 role behind him.

The Packers’ signal-caller heads into the season with an 18-15 starting record, having thrown for 8,154 yards and 60 touchdowns while posting a 95.1 passer rating over 42 appearances. As he works to elevate his game, Green Bay hopes the confidence he shows on social media turns into momentum for another playoff bid.

With one simple post, Love reminded fans that football season is nearly here and suggested that Green Bay could be preparing to make another surprising push.
