Aaron Rodgers made sure to stay in touch with Jordan Love throughout a a tumultuous offseason.

“I reached out a number of times to check on him… Hopefully he appreciated that,” Rodgers told reporters. “I think that’s what I would want in that situation.

“That was important for me and that’s not gonna change.”

Rodgers’ future with the Packers had been in doubt since the NFL Draft in April when reports started circulating that he would not play with the franchise again. This put a spotlight on Love, who was taking first team snaps in OTAs while Rodgers sat out.

Rodgers and the Packers eventually reached an agreement after the team acquiesced on a handful of concessions, including giving the 37-year-old QB the ability to choose which team he plays with next season.

Along with reaching out to Love, Rodgers said he’s been helping the 22-year-old on the field by providing pointers in training camp.

The three-time MVP was seen talking to Love and third-string Kurt Benkert multiple times. Rodgers has also given Love pointers in drills since he’s arrived at training camp.

The two have watched film together, and Rodgers has taken notice of how Love is progressing.

“We put on a clip from last year, again going through some install that we’re putting in the next couple of days,” Rodgers said, “and watching him from last year, this year you can just see that he’s been honing the craft and working on his tempo, and drops, and balance.”

The Packers selected Love with the No. 26 pick in the 2020 NFL draft after they traded up to secure him. The move reportedly Rodgers and led to acrimony with with general manager Brian Gutekunst.

The GM recently admitted he wished that he would have talked to his franchise quarterback before the selection.

“Quite frankly, if that was even a possibility, I would’ve loved to do that,” Gutekunst said. “We didn’t go into that draft thinking, ‘Hey, we’re gonna target this and do it.’ If that was the case, we probably would’ve done that. That wasn’t reality. Would that have changed anything? I don’t know if Aaron, with the issues he has, if that’s really part of it.

“But a player like Aaron, in a situation like that, you would’ve loved to give him a heads up. It’s just that the way this thing transpired, that wasn’t a possibility.”
