GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordan Love will have to take the next step in his career as the Green Bay Packers' quarterback without his revered position coach, Tom Clements.
On the day when the Packers announced that the 71-year-old Clements is retiring, head coach Matt LaFleur said the next part in Love's evolution as a quarterback is to assume a more vocal leadership role within the team.
"I think the next step is just to continue to evolve as a vocal leader," LaFleur said of Love during Tuesday's season wrap-up news conference.
Clements will go down as the only person to coach Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers and Love.
