Of course the Green Bay Packers are going to praise Jordan Love in his first training camp as the team’s presumptive starter. It would be ridiculous for them to do anything else but pump up their teammate publicly as he prepares for his first season at the helm of the offense. But when a player stepping into that role for the first time earns praise from players on other teams following joint practices, there’s a little more weight that comes along with the praise from inside the building.
That’s what happened on Wednesday after the Packers took the practice field with the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of the teams’ preseason matchup on Friday evening.
