The play of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was firmly under the microscope in 2024. Such is life for quarterbacks who land monster contract extensions, as Love did last year when he signed a $55 million per year extension. Such is also life for quarterbacks who play in Green Bay — few organizations have a better pedigree at the position in the last three decades.
Love’s 2024 season got off to a trying start due to an early-season knee injury suffered late against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil and his play never really reached the peaks of his hot finish to 2023 the year before. As a result, the skepticism of his outlook has seemed to have lingered into the 2025 offseason.
Love just got a vote of respect from his peers, although that support appears to come with the perception that Love wasn’t his best in 2024. He was just voted as the 68th-ranked player in the NFL Top 100. It could, based on his ranking last year, be considered a backhanded compliment.

Love ranked 34th in the NFL Top 100 in 2024, marking a 34 spot drop in the rankings from last summer to this time around. Packers fans should be able to take plenty of solace to the fact that he was a more consistent player last season, even if the high-water marks weren’t quite as dominant as they were the year before as the upstart Packers nearly knocked off the 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round.
Love’s outlook for 2025 should be considered promising and, if he plays to his potential, he has the pieces around him to collect a higher ranking next summer. Green Bay invested heavily in his offensive line (Aaron Banks and Anthony Belton) along with his receivers (top-100 draft choices Matthew Golden and Savion Williams). These pieces, plus an established rapport with Matt LaFleur and more experience for Love, all bode well for a successful campaign and return up the rankings.
If the floor for a “down” year is holding serve in the top-70, the Packers appear to continue to be in good hands at quarterback. But Love and company are surely hoping next year’s compliment will be a little less back-handed based off the prior vote.
