The Green Bay Packers had a great 2023 season and could be even better in 2024.
Green Bay seemingly overachieved last year thanks in large part to the performance of quarterback Jordan Love. He took over the starting job from Aaron Rodgers and absolutely shined.
Love had one of the best first full seasons for a young quarterback with just under 4,200 passing yards to go along with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while leading the Packers back to the playoffs. He also helped Green Bay pull off an upset playoff win.
The Packers have a bright future and Love arguably is the biggest reason why. He's expected to take another step forward in 2024 and was called a player who could earn his first Pro Bowl nod by SB Nation's Gus Logue.
"The Packers believe they’re about to enjoy another 15 years of elite quarterback play," Logue said. "Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension last week to tie him with Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence as the league’s highest-paid athletes on a per-year basis. Burrow and Lawrence only have six combined playoff wins, but Love has achieved even less. He had 50 completions in his first two seasons and started a full season for the first time last year.
"Still, Love’s growth on the field in 2023 (and behind the scenes since 2020) was enough to convince Green Bay. As he played more snaps, he found more comfort operating the offense, especially against pressure."
Logue named five players who could make the Pro Bowl in 2024 and Love cracked his list. There's a lot to like about this Packers team heading into 2024.
