Packers QB Jordan Love Ready for Season Opener Against Lions

As the Green Bay Packers gear up for the 2025 NFL season, quarterback Jordan Love is optimistic about his and the team's prospects following a playoff appearance in each of his first two seasons. Love, entering his prime at age 27, is seen as a key figure to continue the Packers' trend of Super Bowl contenders, especially with the recent addition of All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons, whom Love envisions making an immediate impact on defense. Love has expressed excitement over rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, a first-round pick expected to be a major offensive weapon and contribute significantly alongside established receivers. Despite being kept out of the loop on the Parsons trade, Love remains positive and ready, having recovered well from thumb surgery. The defense is expected to set the tone this season, with Love even suggesting they be introduced first at Lambeau Field to energize the crowd. Overall, the Packers are fully aware of the high expectations this season, fueled by prior playoff disappointments and new talent additions.
