Packers QB Jordan Love gives promising assessment of $17 million rookie turning heads

The Green Bay Packers are aiming to win the NFC North this season after falling just a few games short last year. For Green Bay, the key will be winning divisional matchups and taking care of business in games they’re expected to win.

One of the top priorities is retaining players who can make a significant impact when it matters most. A standout name is Jaire Alexander, though it remains uncertain whether he’ll reach an agreement on a new contract. The hope and expectation is that he will return, as he remains in daily contact with the team.

Alexander has not reported to the Packers’ voluntary workouts, which has raised concerns about his status. While speculation continues, passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley offered a different perspective.

Alexander has not reported to the Packers’ voluntary workouts, which would raise red flags over his status with the team. While speculation has run wild, passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley sang a different tune, telling ESPN’s Rob Demovsky that he’s been in contact with Alexander every day while skipping the offseason workouts,” Chris Schad wrote.

Another name generating buzz in Green Bay is rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, who has already expressed his appreciation for the Packers' fanbase.

“Starting to realize Green Bay not too big, so a lot of people gonna recognize me. But it’s a blessing just to be able to be around people that care about you … for me it’s just being able to show my face and show that I love being here,” Golden said.

A strong quarterback-receiver relationship is crucial to success in the NFL, and it seems Jordan Love is already impressed with what Golden brings to the field.

“Just the start we’ve had … he looks like a stud, looks like a very polished receiver,” Love said.

The Love-Golden connection has the potential to become something special. For now, it’s clear the quarterback is excited about his young receiver, and Golden will look to keep turning heads as the summer progresses.
