Packers’ Love maintains usual mindset in unusual offseason

Associated Press

He’s a great kid, a lot of fun to work together.” Love said Wednesday that he and Rodgers have “got a good relationship.” Love said he spoke with Rodgers about a week before heading to Green Bay to begin offseason work, though he didn’t discuss the details of that conversation.
