Jordan Loveās first year as the Green Bay Packers starting quarterback will be one of the biggest storylines heading into the 2023 NFL season. New England Patriots signal-caller Mac Jones hasnāt been in his place exactly, but he did go through a similar situation.
The Alabama product was selected in the 2021 draft, one year after Tom Brady left Foxborough, but he still had to live with the expectations left by the seven-time Super Bowl champ.
Love, meanwhile, has to fill in some big shoes as heās taking over for Aaron Rodgers. Jones knows what is like to replace someone who set the bar so high, which is why he had something to say for the Packers QB.
Mac Jonesā advice to Jordan Love
āI think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL,ā Jones said, via Chris Mason of MassLive.com. āSo to follow him, itās just trying to chase the standard that he set every day.
āHonestly, weāre definitely two different players. Thatās the only advice Iād have: Just continue to grow and be yourself, right? Thatās all you can do. Put your best foot forward and compete. But yeah, itās definitely big shoes to fill.ā

Both are going to be under pressure this season, as their respective teams will closely keep an eye on them before making a long-term decision. But as Jones said, the best for Love is to focus on what he can control.
