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

Packers training camp: Peyton Manning makes a special appearance…but why?

During Monday’s training camp session, Broncos legend Peyton Manning made a special guest star appearance. Manning was spotted on the field talking with head coach Matt LaFleur.

It didn’t look like Manning talked to any of the players or helped coach Love; rather, rumor has it that Manning wanted to discuss a potential project with LaFleur.

Some thought Manning may have been trying to recruit Love to participate in his Netflix show, “Quarterback”, following multiple rejections from high-profile signal-callers like Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott. Begging for scraps, Manning may have settled for an up-and-coming buck like Love, but as of now that speculation has been sufficiently quashed.

Had Manning actually approached Love to come on the show, chances are Love would have declined. Akin to Aaron Rodgers’ distaste for “Hard Knocks”, Love should be staying away from high-profile media projects and focusing on improving in his third year in Green Bay.

But since Manning was there anyway, it wouldn’t hurt Love to grab a drink with the legend and pick his brain for useful tips and advice. Aaron Rodgers was no Brett Favre, yet a little outside counsel may do Love some good this season.
