Rashan Gary has one bold message for fans doubting Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers Edge Rusher Says Team Will Go to War for Jordan Love

Packers players that have already come out in support of Love include:

• Aaron Jones
• Elgton Jenkins
• Jaire Alexander
• Romeo Doubs

Gary appeared on The Rich Eisen Show back on June 29. During the interview, Eisen told Gary that a lot of people are wondering what the team is going to look like without Rodgers for the first time [in 15 years]. Gary responded:

“Yeah. For all the Packers fans that [are nervous] out there, don’t be nervous. There isn’t anybody in the organization that isn’t putting in all the work to make sure Green Bay has the kind of season that they used to have.

“Going to the playoffs. Going to the Super Bowl. Nothing has changed.

“And I just can’t wait to see Jordan Love go out there and put his hard work out there. Because I’ve seen him from the time he walked into Green Bay getting better day by day.

“Now he’s our leader.”

Eisen then asked Gary what he has seen from Love that makes him think the Packers will be just as good with him as they were with Rodgers (I assume 2022 aside). Gary responded:

“Number one, just how he has all the respect of his teammates. How he has everybody ready to go to war for him. You know, as a quarterback, the tempo is set off of him.

“So, just how he handles the huddle, how everybody’s listening to him. He’s calling off the checking. You know, off the run, checking it back to what he said, and just to see his confidence.

“Understanding his read. Understanding where not to throw the ball, where to throw the ball. And from what I’ve seen at OTA’s, his work in the offseason and the years of preparation have come along, so I just can’t wait to see him go out there and get his opportunity.”

People were quick to point out that when Rodgers took over for Brett Favre, he had everyone in the building saying how special he was. Prior to the Packers’ team activities, many stated that Love did not have that kind of support.

However, Gary is now one of several players that have come out and said how good and special he looks. And not all of these players are on offense! If defensive players, whose job it is to make quarterbacks’ lives miserable, are impressed with Love, then there is a lot for fans to be excited about.

The Packers and Love still need to prove it on the field, though. Nothing is handed to anyone in the NFL. However, fans should be optimistic about this team. They are young and there will be mistakes. But they will also be exciting and probably a lot better than many people predict them to be.
