Jordan Love\u2019s sophomore season as the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u2019 starting\u00a0quarterback\u00a0had its ups and downs. He finished as a top-10 quarterback in nearly every advanced metric\u2014despite playing through knee and groin injuries for most of the year. He also led the team to its second consecutive postseason appearance.<\/p>\n
One of Green Bay\u2019s priorities this offseason was to give Jordan Love more weapons and maximize his talent. They selected wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round and added Savion Williams in the third of the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft. To improve protection, they drafted tackles Anthony Belton in the second round and John Williams in the seventh. In free agency, they signed veteran guard Aaron Banks and added speed with receiver Mecole Hardman, further surrounding Love with the tools to take another step forward.<\/p>\n
A healthy Jordan Love should have the tools to take the next step as Green Bay\u2019s signal caller in 2025. While it is uncertain what Love\u2019s season will bring,\u00a0Heavy.com\u2019s Jordan Wilson\u00a0is not shy about making a bold prediction for the Packers\u2019 starting quarterback.<\/p>\n

In an article featuring three bold predictions for Green Bay\u2019s 2025 season, Wilson stated that Jordan Love will be in the mix to fight for the league\u2019s MVP award.<\/p>\n
“The discourse about Love\u2019s so-called regression in 2024 seems overblown. The 26-year-old had a less productive season than he did as a first-time starter in 2023, but he also sprained his left MCL in the season opener and continued to face limitations because of the injury even once he returned,” Wilson wrote. “All told, Love still threw for 3,389 yards and 25 scores in 15 starts for the Packers while improving his QBR from 62.1 in 2023 to 69.3 in 2024.”<\/p>\n
“What should elevate Love\u2019s game in 2025 \u2014 beyond having more experience as a starter \u2014 is the improvements the Packers have made to their offense,” he added. “They signed Banks and drafted offensive tackle Anthony Belton to improve the protection unit in front of him. They also acquired two new talented rookie pass-catchers between Golden and TCU\u2019s Savion Williams, a third-round selection.”<\/p>\n
Wilson also mentioned that the Packers need to avoid slippage at other positions for Love to thrive. That includes areas like the receiving corps, which can not afford to rank in the top five in\u00a0drops\u00a0again if Love is going to make a serious MVP push.<\/p>\n
“Love will still need to put in the extra work to ensure he is on the same page as his new teammates, but he has put some dazzlingly accurate throws on tape at all levels of the field,” he wrote. “If the Packers can avoid slippage at other positions and Love can stay healthy, he will have a good chance to play his way into the MVP conversation in the months ahead.”<\/p>\n
Last season, Love posted a 3.4%\u00a0turnover-worthy play rate\u00a0under pressure\u2014the second-best mark by a Packers quarterback in the past decade. Sure, his touchdown and passing numbers dipped, but that is normal when you miss two and a half games. Calling his 2024 campaign a regression feels like a stretch. If anything, he should have every opportunity to take a significant step forward this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
