2020 NFL Draft Patriots Packers and Sain

While most of the attention and dialogue concerning the quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft has revolved around Joe Burrow (a virtual lock to go No. 1 to the ) and Tua Tagovailoa Matt Harvey Jersey (who has serious injury concerns), the draft's most polarizing quarterback is Jordan Love -- a quarterback with all the physical tools to succeed at the next level, but also mostly underwhelming tape from his final season at Utah State.So, it should come as no real surprise to learn that several teams are doing extensive research on Love as the draft nears.Texas Tech coach Matt Wells told ESPN that . Before landing at Texas Tech, Wells coached Love at Utah State from 2017-18. It was in 2018 that Love pieced together the best season of his career, throwing for 32 touchdowns and only six interceptions, which vaulted him into the first-round discu sion before he disappointed this past season Tom Seaver Jersey with 20 touchdowns and 17 picks. Despite that poor final season, Love is still in the first-round mix."I think they are just trying to put the complete story together on him," Wells told ESPN.Wells didn't say which seven coaches called him, but ESPN's Jeremy Fowler provided a partial list of the teams looking into Love. According to Fowler, the , , , , Packers, and are all doing their due diligence -- among "several" other teams that weren't named. Most of those teams aren't at all surprising.

This past year, even though the Packers went 13-3, they didn't get to 13 wins and the NFC title game with stellar quarterback play. Rodgers wasn't bad, but he also wasn't great. He finished . That doesn't mean Nolan Ryan Jersey the Packers should be trying to replace Rodgers immediately. But it's not too early for them to begin thinking about life after Rodgers. This is the same team that drafted Rodgers when they had Brett Favre -- a move that allowed them to transition from one Hall-of-Fame quarterback to the next. With Rodgers nearing the end of his career and already seemingly past his prime, the Packers are suddenly staring at a not-so-distant future without a Hall-of-Fame quarterback -- a reality they haven't been forced to confront in nearly 30 years. It remains to be seen if Love can turn his physical tools Mike Piazza Jersey into a succe sful product in the NFL.
