After one season playing together, Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs built a strong connection on the field. For the second time this offseason , the running back publicly praised his quarterback and what Love means to the Green Bay Packers.

For Jacobs, Jordan Love has the potential to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

"He's a dog. I feel like for him, he got all the traits and abilities," Jacobs said during Zias' YouTube stream. "He was hurt a lot last year, once he really just gets comfortable with what he wanna do, I'm telling you, one of them ones".

Jordan Love missed two games and significant parts of another two because of knee, hamstring, and elbow injuries. Despite all those things, the quarterback was still ninth in EPA/play, 15th in success rate, and fourth in air yards during the 2024 season. He finished the season with a 96.7 passer rating, which was better than he had had in 2023.

Moreover, Love's receivers had an 8.2% drop rate, the seventh worst number for quarterbacks in the NFL—in volume, 24 total drops were the fifth worst for Love, only behind Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, and Bo Nix.

Connection in the passing game

Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs quickly developed a good connection. Josh Jacobs finished the season with 36 catches for 342 receiving yards, and his first receiving touchdown in the NFL.

Jacobs had 1.36 yards per route run (14th amongst running backs in the NFL) and didn't have a single drop. Plus, Jacobs led the NFL in missed tackles forced after the catch with 21.

Their connection and Jacobs' reliability as a catcher and ability to create after that were big parts of what the Packers were able to accomplish on offense in 2024.
