​NFL players collectively believe that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is the 72nd-best player in the business. Most take any consideration inside the Top 100 as a token of respect, but that’s just not the case in PackerLand.Various forms of Packers-themed media and Love’s teammate, Micah Parsons, took issue with the “low” ranking this week.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementGreen Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love releases a pass over Arizona linebacker Jordan Burch at State Farm Stadium, following the ball as it travels downfield during second-half action.

Mike Spofford did the honors: “Packers quarterback Jordan Love has made the NFL’s “Top 100 Players” for a third straight year, coming in at No. 72. Love was ranked No. 68 a year ago and No. 34 in 2024 on the list that’s voted on by the players themselves.”“Last season, Love set career highs in completion percentage (66.3) and passer rating (101.2) while throwing his fewest interceptions in a season (six) since taking over as Green Bay’s starting quarterback. He’s one of only three QBs in the league with 80-plus TD passes and fewer than 30 INTs since 2023, joining Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and the L.A. Rams’ Matthew Stafford.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBaltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers checked in one spot ahead of Love at No. 71.Micah Parsons: NawParsons, who posts on Twitter (X) a few times per month — usually a complaint about something — rushed to Love’s defense, tweeting, “71 players in the NFL aren’t better than Jordan Love!”Love and Parsons have been teammates for just under a year, and Love has evidently earned his respect in that short period. Parsons is battling back from a torn ACL and isn’t expected to play right away in 2026 — he’ll be gone for the Vikings-Packers Week 1 showdown — but the tweet illustrated that Love is “his guy.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Packers passer ranked second in the NFL last year per EPA+CPOE, only bested by Drake Maye of the New England Patriots, and Packers fans absolutely insist that Love is the real deal, an argument that Parsons clearly supports.Perhaps Love’s “problem” among onlookers and Madden in particular is that he isn’t quite as dominant as his two predecessors, Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. The standard is high in Green Bay.A Similar Response from Packers MediaThe Love conundrum isn’t exclusive to Parsons’s beef.DairyLandExpress‘s Dylan Carter wrote Friday, “One healthy season. That’s what it will take for Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love to prove he is who the entire state of Wisconsin thinks
