The 2025 Green Bay Packers enter a fiery NFC North with rising optimism, fueled by the belief that quarterback Jordan Love could emerge as one of the league’s top signal callers. With expectations building for a Super Bowl push, Green Bay’s hopes hinge heavily on Love, whose role stands as the most crucial factor in the franchise’s path forward.
Love sits at the center of Green Bay’s Super Bowl hopes, and ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano even believes the Packers’ franchise quarterback has a real shot at winning MVP.
“It sounds like Love will be fully healthy and ready to go for Week 1, even after having a procedure a couple of weeks ago to treat an injury to the thumb of his non-throwing hand. Remember that Love injured his knee in last season’s opener against the Eagles in Brazil and took a while to get back to full health,” Graziano wrote.
Jordan Love 2025 – 2026 NFL MVP?
Graziano’s belief in Love stems from his 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions from his second year as the starter, and his confidence mirrors the buzz around the league that Green Bay has the tools to contend and that Love has a real shot at the MVP race.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has steadily upgraded the roster around Jordan Love, and now the 26-year-old quarterback enters the season with a deep group of rising talents who could all hit their stride together.
“Remember also that the Packers had the youngest roster in the league last season and still finished in the top five in defensive EPA and defensive efficiency in the first year of a new defensive system. They drafted Matthew Golden in the first round to add a potential true No. 1 WR to Love’s already deep wide receiver corps. They also have depth at tight end, an impact running back in Josh Jacobs and a strong offensive line. And of their seven losses last season, six came to the Lions, Vikings and Eagles — the top three teams in the NFC,” Graziano continued.
The Packers have fueled Jordan Love’s supporting cast with impact draft choices and major free agent additions, and their Week 1 clash with the Detroit Lions gives Love the opportunity to make an immediate statement.
