Hot News : All-Pro teammate raves about Jordan Love’s ‘superstar’ potential
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs played with two star passers at Alabama in Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tuas Tagovailoa, and he had a front-row seat to Derek Car’s Pro Bowl season in 2022
So it’s reasonable to say he understands what elite quarterback performance looks like.
This must have made Packers quarterback Jordan Love happy, as his All-Pro running back heaped accolades on him during a recent interview on NFL Network’s “The Insiders.”
Josh Jacobs, a Green Bay Packers running back, played at Alabama with two good quarterbacks: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tuas Tagovailoa, and he had a front-row seat to Derek Car’s Pro Bowl season in 2022.
So it’s logical to assume he understands what great quarterback performance entails.
This must have pleased Packers quarterback Jordan Love, as the All-Pro running back heaped praise on him during a recent interview on NFL Network’s “The Insiders.”
“To me, just from what I’ve seen, he has all the traits and all the tools to be a superstar in this league,” Jacobs told NFL.com on Monday. “I think that as he keeps continuing to play and gets experience and becomes more confident in his abilities and what he can do, he’s going to be the next superstar in this league, for sure.”
In his debut season as Green Bay’s starter, Love passed for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while maintaining a passer rating of 96.1. He led the NFL with nine games with multiple touchdown throws and no interceptions.
Love also became the first Packers quarterback since the merger to lead the team to the playoffs in his debut year as a starter, as well as the first to do so with three or fewer wins through the first nine games.
Following Love’s breakout season, Jacobs believes he is in for a big 2024 with Green Bay’s “pick-your-poison” offense.
“It’s just so special when you got a guy like Jordan Love back there, and you can’t really just load the box every play, and you make defenses decide what they want to stop,” Jacobs told ESPN. “I think that’s going to be the biggest help for me this year.”
