The Green Bay Packers will have a new week-one starting quarterback for the first time in 30 years. As crazy as the stat sounds it is true, and there will be plenty of questions surrounding Jordan Love’s future on the team. 2023 and 2024 are essentially his chance to prove he can be the next great quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Darius Slay got a chance to see Jordan Love up close when he came in for an injured Aaron Rodgers. Slay thinks the Packers have a special talent taking over and discussed it on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
Slay thinks the Green Bay Packers have their guy
Aaron Rodgers has played against plenty of great corners in his career and Darius Slay is one of them. Slay spent seven years as a member of the Detroit Lions where he faced Rodgers twice a season. Slay joined the Eagles in 2020 and was on the field when Jordan Love stepped in for an injured Aaron Rodgers. Love put on a show and gave the Green Bay Packers a chance to come back and win, but fell just short. At the time, Darius Slay commented on Love’s impressive outing on his podcast, “Big Play Slay.”
“As a defense, when A-Rod goes out, we feel great,” Slay said on his podcast. “That’s one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, so if he goes out, we got to go out here and really get active. The D-line gets a little hungrier because they know with a young buck coming in, they can get after the quarterback since A-Rod makes a lot of checks and communication at the line of scrimmage, that’s hard to sack. So, [Love] comes in and actually does a very, very solid job. Green Bay got a bright, bright future, like a bright one because buddy was slinging it.”
Back in December Slay made it known that Jordan Love has what it takes after he gave the stout Eagles defense some trouble. On Wednesday he joined Pat McAfee and talked about Jordan Love’s bright future yet again.
“He had that attitude out there. I saw him come out there confident, control the offense and almost won the game for them,” Slay said on “The Pat McAfee Show. “He’s a great guy. That’s the only film I have of him, but with a quick little glance, I was like, ‘He can really do this thing.’ Green Bay, I think, does have a great quarterback on their hands.
