The Green Bay Packers have made bolstering the supporting cast around quarterback Jordan Love a top priority, and this offseason may be the biggest payoff of all.
One year removed from signing Josh Jacobs and the former rushing champion, who proceeded to become a driving force of Green Bay’s ground game and offense overall, the Packers loaded up on even more young receivers for Love.
Packers’ Jordan Love Opens Up About New Weapons
Already with young and ascending pass catchers like Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and Tucker Kraft in the fold, the Packers broke a decades long streak of not taking a wide receiver early in the first round when Green Bay selected Matthew Golden at No. 23 overall before rounding back to select receiver Savion Williams in the third round.
Love is fired up about the new firepower around him.
“I was definitely surprised, going into that first round, having the draft here in Green Bay, and hearing for the first time since 2000-and-whatever getting a receiver,” Love said, via Pro Football Talk. “So I was excited getting Matthew Golden, then Savion, those are two guys that I think are going to add some dynamic weapons to our passing game. We’ve got a lot of weapons.”
The onus now falls on Love to maximize the young receiving corps that the Packers have built over the past several seasons.
Love is widely viewed as one of the NFL’s rising young quarterbacks, and in 2025, he may finally have the pieces in place to lead a legitimate Super Bowl charge.
