Jordan Love being coached on footwork and fundamentals by Packers’ coaching staff

Jordan Love solidified his position as the Packers’ quarterback of the future last season, demonstrating his abilities and potential on the field. However, his coaches acknowledge that there is always room for improvement and are emphasizing the importance of sharpening his fundamentals.

Both Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and head coach Matt LaFleur have stressed the significance of Love perfecting his footwork and progression reading. LaFleur emphasized the need for quarterbacks to have precise feet and go through their progressions effectively, with consequences for anything less than perfection. The coaching staff is focused on ensuring that Love understands the specific drops they want him to take and are implementing drills to facilitate this development.

During the offseason, quarterbacks like Love have the opportunity to work on fundamental aspects without the pressure of a live pass rush. This allows for concentrated practice on footwork, mobility in the pocket, and throwing mechanics through routes on air drills. Clements emphasized the importance of developing a strong presence in the pocket, knowing when to move and when to stay put as key areas of improvement for Love.

As Love looks ahead to signing a long-term contract with the Packers and assuming the mantle of franchise quarterback, the team is clear about their expectations for his growth and development. Through focused work on fundamentals and continued guidance from his coaches, Love is poised to lead the Packers’ offense for years to come.
