With the Green Bay Packers offseason devolving into a referendum on their first-round draft pick, head coach Matt LaFleur took to the radio on Thursday to explain the decision.
Speaking with ESPN Wisconsin Radio, LaFleur spun a new take on why the Packers selected a backup quarterback instead of addressing a glaring wide receiver need while Aaron Rodgers is still in position to win championships.
His explanation? Utah State quarterback Jordan Love was the best player on the board.
“It was just one of those situations where there were a couple guys targeted that had just previously been picked, and Jordan was the next guy on the board,” LaFleur said, per Pro Football Talk.
