The Green Bay Packers definitely are a team to look out for in 2024.
Green Bay overachieved in 2023 and should be even better this year thanks in large part to the play of young quarterback Jordan Love. The 25-year-old burst onto the scene last year with a rookie season to remember.
Love tallied 32 touchdown passes to just 11 interceptions while leading the Packers to the playoffs. The young gunslinger just locked up a new contract as well and should be the face of the Packers for the foreseeable future.
He showed so much promise last year that ESPN NFL insider Louis Riddick even stated that Love would be the quarterback to build around in the NFC if every team could start from scratch.
"Jordan Love, to answer your question, he is the one," Riddick said. "That's the one if you're starting a football team right now that's the guy you want. That's exactly the way Brian Gutekunst the general manager up there at the Packers looks at it. They are betting on the future."
Green Bay took a massive step forward last year and with another one in 2024 soon could be considered among the top contenders in the NFC. The Packers have some weapons around Love which should make life easier heading into 2024.
All in all, the Packers have a bright future and Love is one of the biggest reasons why. Some have questioned his new contract, but when you are one of the top young quarterbacks in football, you deserve to be rewarded.
