As the 2025 NFL season approaches, excitement is building among Green Bay Packers fans, particularly regarding quarterback Jordan Love. ESPN recently predicted that Love could emerge as a top MVP candidate this season, a forecast that is generating significant buzz within the fanbase.
Love has demonstrated impressive potential since taking over as the starter following Aaron Rodgers’ departure. In the latter part of the 2023 season, he showcased his skills by throwing for 2,150 yards and 18 touchdowns, while maintaining a high completion percentage. His performance during that stretch, which led Green Bay to a playoff victory over the Dallas Cowboys, highlighted his ability to perform under pressure.

The Packers have made substantial investments in their offense to support Love’s development. This includes drafting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round, marking the team’s first significant investment in a receiver in over two decades. Coupled with the addition of running back Josh Jacobs and a strengthened offensive line, there is a palpable sense of optimism surrounding Love’s potential for a breakout season.
Analysts like Dan Graziano believe that if Love can remain healthy and improve against top defenses, he has the tools to lead Green Bay to a successful season. The young quarterback’s previous injuries in 2024 raised concerns, but with a healthier roster and enhanced offensive options, the stage is set for a robust comeback.

As it stands, Love is projected to have an MVP-worthy campaign next season. This is detailed more in an analysis by Dan Graziano for ESPN.
Don’t be surprised if … quarterback Jordan Love is an MVP finalist.
What I’m hearing: It sounds like Love will be fully healthy and ready to go for Week 1, even after having a procedure a couple of weeks ago to treat an injury to the thumb of his non-throwing hand. Remember that Love injured his knee in last season’s opener against the Eagles in Brazil and took a while to get back to full health.
Remember also that the Packers had the youngest roster in the league last season and still finished in the top five in defensive EPA and defensive efficiency in the first year of a new defensive system. They drafted Matthew Golden in the first round to add a potential true No. 1 WR to Love’s already deep wide receiver corps. They also have depth at tight end, an impact running back in Josh Jacobs and a strong offensive line. And of their seven losses last season, six came to the Lions, Vikings and Eagles — the top three teams in the NFC.
If the Packers can improve their performance against the league’s top contenders and Love can stay healthy, they are set up to win a lot of games this season. And if they do that, their quarterback is going to be a top MVP candidate.
Fans are eager to see how Love will capitalize on the opportunities presented by this revamped offense. His ability to connect with new targets and manage the game effectively will be critical as Green Bay aims for playoff contention.
