Packers Jordan Love Responds to Comment From Former Teammate

There are a lot of people who are fans of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Cheesehead faithful have to be thrilled with how he performed in his first season as a starter, taking over for future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

Around the NFL, his peers have also been impressed with his performance. Recently, a former teammate of Jordan Love spoke very highly of him. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams called Love a ““f***ing baller.”

“Yeah, that’s awesome,” Love said after practice this past week. “Being able to hear and get some praise from Davante – he’s a guy I played with and have a lot of respect for – is awesome.”

Adams last played with the Packers in 2021 before a contract dispute led to him leaving town. He was traded to the Raiders, beginning what turned out to be a massive youth movement in Green Bay.

Part of the reason that Adams was looking to move was the uncertainty under center. No one knew what to make of Jordan Love, who was still sitting behind Rodgers and mostly only getting live reps in preseason games.

But, during an appearance on Maxx Crosby’s “The Rush” podcast, Adams had nothing but praise for his former teammate. Adams has no regrets about requesting a trade, but Jordan Love is someone he certainly would have loved to catch passes from.

“At the time when I was there [in Green Bay], I hadn’t necessarily seen enough to say this is for sure what I should do,” Adams said. “But in hindsight, like we talked about, the kid is a f***ing baller, man. I’m so happy for him.

“I haven’t really had a chance to truly sit down and talk with him, but I want to tell him at some point like, ‘I definitely don’t regret changing [teams], but I’m super-proud of what you’ve done. If there’s a way I could pull you over here [to Las Vegas] and drag you with me like that, that would’ve been cool, too,’ because we saw what he did at the end of the year.”
