Jordan Love's transformation from 'Sticks' to Packers' future QB

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordan Love needs a nickname -- or at least a new one.

The old one -- "Nutella Sticks," coined by his high school teammates -- no longer applies.

Love isn't the short, thin, easily breakable snack stick that comes with the sweet spread.

"He was 5-foot-3 and 130 pounds as a freshman," said Bryan Nixon, varsity football coach at Love's Liberty High School in Bakersfield, California.

"He might have been 130 on a good day," said linebacker Krys Barnes, Love's high school teammate.
