Why Jordan Love and Co. can take Packers offense to explosive new heights

New York Times  

The Packers had the youngest group of pass catchers in the league with quarterback Jordan Love entering his first season as a starter in 2023. He had a high success rate in nearly every route in Matt Harmon’s “Reception Perception.” “Overall, there is just so much to like from Dontayvion Wicks’ rookie season Reception Perception profile,” Harmon wrote. Last season, in Love’s first year as the starter, that already high rate jumped to 63 percent. Though a quarterback’s stats under pressure could be volatile from season to season, it’s a good sign that Love ranked seventh in EPA per dropback with pressure in his first season as a starter. Progression isn’t always linear, but Love displayed the physical traits and skills of an elite quarterback and produced like one in last season’s final eight games.
