Jordan Love's Leadership Skills Praised By Guard Elgton Jenkins

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love brings confidence and leadership abilities that have won him the trust of the team, said starting left guard Elgton Jenkins. In an interview with the NFL Network's Good Morning Football, Jenkins said, "In OTAs, I've seen a lot of good things from Jordan, a lot of leadership -- he stepped up as a leader a lot -- so I'm very excited for his future and ready to play with him." He praised Love's confidence, saying he "approached every game as a starter," even as a rookie in the shadow of Aaron Rodgers. He has only started one game, a 7-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021, in which he only completed 19-of-34 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He looked better in limited time in relief in 2022. In Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles, he completed 6-of-9 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. The Packers and fantasy football managers will get their first real chance to evaluate Love's long-term prospects this season.
