Packers host workout for USFL QB Josh Love

The Packers are working out quarterback Josh Love, who was the starter for Michigan Panthers of the USFL in 2023.

The Green Bay Packers hosted a workout for quarterback Josh Love of the USFL’s Michigan Panthers, according to Aaron Wilson.

Unsettled at quarterback behind Jordan Love, the Packers continue doing work on potential upgrades at the position.

Love, 26, went undrafted out of San Jose State in 2020. He spent time with the Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers before joining the USFL, where he played in three games for the Pittsburgh Maulers and 13 games for the Michigan Panthers between 2022 and 2023.

This past season, Love completed 143 of 236 passes for 1,556 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over nine games in the USFL. He threw 17 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions over two seasons in the developmental league.

His final season at San Jose State saw Love completed 60.9 percent of his passes and throw 22 touchdown passes against eight interceptions.

The Packers currently have fifth-round pick Sean Clifford, 2018 draft pick Danny Etling and 2023 USFL MVP Alex McGough competing to be Jordan Love’s backup. The team recently worked out former Colts quarterback Jacob Eason.

Could another J. Love join the Packers depth chart?

Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers also worked out receiver Darion Chafin and guard Parker Ferguson.
