Jordan Love's career as the Green Bay Packers' quarterback is entering a crucial phase, particularly now that Tom Clements, his respected position coach, has announced his retirement. Head coach Matt LaFleur emphasized that Love must step up as a vocal leader within the team, highlighting this evolution as a significant next step.
Clements, who has coached NFL legends Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and now Love, leaves a lasting legacy. He joined the Packers in 2006 and returned in 2022 after a brief retirement. LaFleur praised Clements for his contributions and the impact he had on Love's development.
As the Packers search for a new quarterbacks coach, they have several candidates within the organization, including assistant Connor Lewis and former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion. Whomever is chosen will play a key role in furthering Love's development as a starter, especially after he signed a lucrative contract extension following a successful season.
