Packers training camp buzz: Jordan Love says ‘Watch me, Aaron’, special teams shake-ups, and a surprise guest star

Packers training camp: Jordan Love throws dot to Christian Watson (Video)

11, 10, 9… Liftoff.

Last year, Aaron Rodgers made then-rookie Christian Watson look good. This time around, it’s Love making the big-boy throws to Watson, proving that the 10-9 connection is very, very real.

In the clip below, Love drops a beautiful dime to Watson down the right sideline on a 3rd-and-5 during a practice drill. Confident and poised, Love steps up in the pocket and fires a deep ball forty yards downfield to Watson, who catches it despite solid coverage from Innis Gaines. Watson then runs untouched into the end zone for the touchdown.

Yes. A thousand times yes. More of that, please.

Love is also expected to generate scintillating chemistry with 2022 fourth-rounder Romeo Doubs, who also made some impressive plays in the first week of Packers training camp.

Under Aaron Rodgers, Watson and Doubs combined for 1,036 receiving yards and ten touchdowns in their rookie season. In Love’s first year as QB1, there’s rising hope that the Packers’ offense can maintain its production from 2022 (ranked in the middle of the pack with 21.8 points and 353.1 yards per game). Maybe Love can even do an aging Rodgers one better.
