The Green Bay Packers enter the 2025 NFL season with high hopes of being a top-tier Super Bowl contender. However, there are some questions facing the team.
One of the biggest questions has to do with Jordan Love. Will the third-year starting quarterback be able to take the jump into superstardom that fans expected from him last season? If he can, the Packers will be a legitimate contender.
Love’s 2024 season started off in rough fashion. He went down with a knee injury in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles that forced him to miss the next two games. After that, he was unable to find his rhythm.

Heading into the 2025 season, expectations are once again high for Love. There are also some concerns swirling about where Green Bay will be if Love does not take a big step from a production perspective.

Despite the questions the young quarterback is facing, head coach Matt LaFleur spoke out singing the praises of him.
LaFleur revealed that Love has made huge strides from a vocal leadership perspective.
“Night and day,” LaFleur said. “Even from last year, and I thought he took a big jump last year. Way more presence. As the kids say, he’s got aura.”
He continued forward, talking more about Love and how he’s looking ahead of the 2025 campaign. LaFleur sees a new sense of urgency in his quarterback.
“You can see the urgency he’s playing with right now,” LaFleur said. “A lot of times in this [era], you’re going to go as far as your quarterback goes. But it does take everybody around him playing at a high level.”

During the 2024 NFL season with the Packers, Love played in 15 games. He completed 63.1 percent of his pass attempts for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
Those numbers were solid, but they were not as good as expected. Love getting hurt in Week 1 might have been a big part of the lower production.
All of that being said, the stage has been set for Love entering the 2025 season. He has a ton of talent around him offensively and is still considered to be a potential breakout superstar. It will be interesting to see if he can rise to the occasion.
