When it comes to Green Bay Packers training camp, Family Night is the biggest practice session of them all. So, naturally, fans want to see the best/most important players produce some highlight-reel plays – or close enough.
Obviously, Jordan Love is one of those players. And, after an inconsistent start to camp, many were wondering if he'd sharpen up in front of more than 65,000 Packers fans.
Per reports, Love started slowly, but really picked it up afterward. He finished 11-of-19 on the night, which included three passing touchdowns and several nice throws.
One of those touchdowns was an incredible sidearm throw to star running back Aaron Jones. Let's just say Love's pass had all kinds of Patrick Mahomes-esque vibes:
Love accurately threads the pass between All-Pro linebacker De'Vondre Campbell and rookie defensive lineman Colby Wooden and hits Jones, who is breaking free from All-Pro cornerback Keisean Nixon.
It's an awesome display of patience, ability, and confidence. It also showcases the ever-growing rapport between Love and Jones.
This play would undoubtedly be on Sportscenter's Top-10 if Saturday night were the regular season. That just means Love is going to have to cook up a couple more of these throws when the stakes really matter.
