When Green Bay selected Love with the 26th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Rodgers’ displeasure with the move became national news. Many assumed the relationship between the two quarterbacks would be tense. But Love’s latest revelation paints a different picture of respect, mentorship, and continuity.
Love confirmed that Rodgers continues to reach out during the season. “A lot of it is just saying good luck throughout the season,”Love explained. “A-Rod texts me and was talking about some of the plays we were running, some of my footwork, complimenting me. Obviously, it is great being able to hear from him.”
Rodgers, now leading the Steelers to a 4–2 start, has offered pointers on technique and reads, showing that his competitive edge hasn’t replaced his willingness to teach..The mentorship that began in a crowded quarterback room has quietly evolved into a long-distance mentorship built on mutual respect.
LaFleur, who managed both quarterbacks during the transition, recently praised Rodgers for his professionalism. “He did a great job,” LaFleur said. “Being supportive with him, trying to give him nuggets all the time. The mastery he has of our offense… I thought it was great for both of them.”
