As training camp approaches for the Green Bay Packers, all eyes are on quarterback Jordan Love. That’s expected now—and will remain the case throughout the season. Love will ultimately dictate how far the Packers go in 2025.
“It’s Jordan Love time. Only one offensive player on the roster (two-time Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins), and three players in total, predate the quarterback’s time with the team. He’s on a top-of-market deal, so the onus is on him to start lifting his teammates rather than the other way around. The roster’s still solid, but competitions at left tackle and receiver will help set the course for how far the team can go, and Love’s work through any bumps at those spots will be key,” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer wrote.
Love is even seen by some as a dark horse MVP candidate—if he plays up to expectations. Last season was a challenge, and one anonymous scout believes an injury played a key role in holding him back.
“That knee injury held back Jordan Love,” said the anonymous scout. “He was on course for a really big year if not for the time he missed. It looked like he rushed himself back a little bit too soon.”
The Packers also have a new CEO this year. With Mark Murphy retiring, Ed Policy has stepped into the role. According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Policy may not hesitate to move on from Love if his performance doesn’t improve.
“He’s not on the hot seat per se, but he needs to play better in 2025 than he did in 2024. If not, he will be on the hot seat in 2026. The wild card in Green Bay is new CEO Ed Policy, who operates as the de facto owner of the team,” Florio wrote.

Such a move would come as a shock to Packers fans—but with new leadership, nothing can be ruled out. If Florio is right, this could surprisingly turn into a prove-it season for Jordan Love.
