ARod and J Lo are everywhere. Their reach has extended to Green Bay and the NFL.
No, not the loving couple of Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez. Rather, the Packers’ quarterback exacta of Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love.
The Packers took the Utah State quarterback in the first round Thursday, sparking a buzz the great Rodgers might not be welcoming to the future of the franchise at QB.
Love, however, says nothing could be further from the truth. Rodgers reached out and connected to the draft pick.
Jordan Love told @MariaTaylor on the ABC draft broadcast that he connected with Aaron Rodgers today.
"I was able to talk with him earlier," Love said. "Really good guy. Just congratulated me, and I was just letting him know that I was excited to be able to work with him."

Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst said Love should be prepared to watch and learn much in the way Rodgers did when he was chosen and was behind Brett Favre for the first three years of his career.
Brian Gutekunst on Aaron Rodgers: "We have the best quarterback in the National Football League and we plan to have him for a while."
Again, said the way the board fell Jordan Love was the right pick. #Packers
