NFL executives were asked about their All-NFC North team for 2024-25 season and with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers finishing just third in the division, it is understandable how the team only got one person in the first team.
Elgton Jenkins is the offensive player who was named as among the top players in the division although the review is not that glowing. He beat Graham Glasgow of the Detroit Lions for the best left guard honor.
“He was good, not great,” one scout said of Jenkins. “He’s just a good player, and that’s run or pass. And he has no problems rubbing somebody’s nose in it.”
The Packers’ wide receiver department, which these days deal with many trade speculations, sunk low in the rankings.
Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Lions, and DJ Moore of the Chicago Bears also finished at the top.
Packers’ Romeo Doubs , Jayden Reed, and Christian Watson took the 7th to 9th spot while Dontayvion Wicks placed 11th.
Jordan Love’s season scrutinized
Detroit’s Jared Goff and Minnesota’s Sam Darnold took the first and second spot in NFC North for quarterbacks.
Jordan Love finished third.
The executives are not that high on the 26-year-old’s performance this season, with some looking for consistency. One even likened him to Green Bay legend Aaron Rodgers although not in a good way.
“I feel he has too much Aaron Rodgers in him with the foot issues and not setting himself. He’s tough. It’s just that he doesn’t play to a consistent level over 17 games. He has good stretches. I need a good 17-game stretch from him,” said one scout.

Had the voting been done after the Vikings flamed out and the Lions lost, the order for QB and other positions might have changed a little bit. Darnold is probably gone from Minnesota next year, and Goff had a magical, but in the end, Rodgers-like demise in the playoffs when Detroit was supposed to win the Super Bowl. Love, however, and the young GB team will be back in 2025 and stronger than ever. I expect the Vikings to return to their mediocrity, and the Lions to regress as well.
