Aaron Rodgers Wasn't 'Thrilled' with Jordan Love Pick: QB 'Not to Blame at All'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed mixed feelings Friday about the team's drafting of Jordan Love in his first public comments since the selection.

The Packers took the Utah State quarterback No. 26 overall in last month's draft.

Rodgers spoke positively about Love on a conference call with reporters: "I'm excited to work with him. He seems like a good kid."

Rodgers admitted he wasn't a fan of the pick when he first heard of it. "General reaction at first was surprise, like many people," he said.
