During the 2020 season, Jordan Love proved himself as the quarterback the Packers are looking to build their offense around. However, his coaches still believe there are areas where he can improve. In particular, Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and head coach Matt LaFleur emphasized the importance of Love perfecting his fundamentals during this offseason.
LaFleur stressed the significance of having perfect feet and going through progressions with precision. The coaches want Love to understand the specific drops they want him to take, especially with a new defense in play. Clements highlighted that the offseason is an ideal time for quarterbacks to work on their fundamentals without the pressure of a live pass rush.
The focus for Love this offseason is on footwork, movement in the pocket, and working on drills and routes without defenders present. By perfecting these skills, Love can develop his presence in the pocket and improve his decision-making on when to move and when to stay put. Love has expressed his confidence in signing a long-term contract with the Packers and the team has high expectations for him as the future leader of the franchise.
Despite his impressive performance last season, Love’s coaches still see room for improvement. They believe that by focusing on his fundamentals during this offseason, he can become an even more effective quarterback and lead the Packers to even greater success in future seasons.
