Love has previously spoken about losing his father, a police officer, to suicide when he was 14, and how it had an impact on him as a player and as a person.
“That’s my superhero. My parents were my superheroes. Both were police officers,” Love said. “Heard stories about my dad fighting crime. He seems like a superhero. To lose him was tough.”
Jordan Love and former Packers wide receiver Donald Driver co-hosted the Green Bay Charity Softball Game in Appleton, according to Matt Schneidman.
“Try to get kids more involved in sports, try to get the police and sheriff’s departments into the community more,” he said. “And bring more attention to mental health issues and suicide.”
