Rodgers shows some Love to Packers draft pick

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers' first interaction with his heir apparent was cordial, Packers first-round draft Jordan Love said Friday.

Speaking with ESPN's Maria Taylor, Love said of his new teammate, "Yeah, I was able to talk with him earlier. You know, really good guy. (He was) just congratulating me, and I was just letting him know that I was excited to be able to work with him."

ESPN, citing an anonymous source, reported that Rodgers was the one who reached out to Love.

The Packers traded up to the 26th overall pick in the draft on Thursday to select Love, a redshirt junior out of Utah State.
