Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is trying to carve out his own legacy, so he needs all the insight he can get when it comes to advice on accomplishing the goal.

He received one of the best avenues for both on Tuesday when NFL legend, Peyton Manning, showed up to Packers practice. The immediate thought was Manning came to recruit Love for the second season of his Netflix documentary, Quarterback, but even though the former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos star was there with his production company – it wasn't to recruit Love.

But that didn't stop him from making a big impact on Love and the Packers – especially Love. Manning shared plenty of insights with the team that he used to build his legacy and if the players heed his words, they could see immediate dividends in 2023.

"We talked a good amount of time before practice on wide receivers, kind of how his role was with receivers when he was young [and] kind of starting out. Communication with coaches [and] things like that," Love told reporters Tuesday. "He was asking me if everybody was on the same page in terms of me with the plays, with guys, [and] if there's good communication. And I was pretty much telling him, 'Yeah, we have really good communication around here.'

"… I think he talked about that to the team in the team meeting room, as well, just hitting that's one of the biggest things that he felt was what made the Colts so good when he played with them – was just how well they communicated with each other [and] how well they bonded as a team."

Manning was always known for his intensive film study and it played a major role in his success. It can take a good chunk of time to learn how to watch film the right way, so any preemptive instruction can shave a lot of the learning curve off. 

Fortunately, for Love, Manning gave him plenty of pointers on how to maximize his window for film study. That's obviously key for a first-year starter, like the Packers quarterback.

"That's another thing he mentioned was his game film prep the week going into a game [and] how serious he took that," said Love. "He says he watched four games on Monday before he'd even come into the week. He'd watched all the film before he comes to the meeting to know exactly what he's going to be seeing, what looks he might have questions for -things like that. It just comes down to that preparation. That's the big takeaway from him."

But what it all ultimately comes down to is how much work individuals are willing to put in on their own accord. Players have the final say in their workload, so what they do off the field is far more important than what they do in the facility and on the practice field. 

It's safe to say Manning, one of the NFL's most effective communicators, got that message across just fine.

"It's a lot of advice," said Love. "He had a lot of really good gems, in terms of taking notes, how you watch film, you know, when you're at home by yourself. Are you writing down questions, things that you can, you know, come back, ask your coaches later? How are you asking the coach, like, are you guy that you know, wants to be coached really hard? Are you guy that kind of just wants to be able to do your own thing? It all matters. He said that when he was a player, that was his biggest thing was he wanted to be coached really hard. He always wanted to be told what he was doing wrong and things like that."

There are plenty of big moments in training camp that can help shape a season. Sometimes, like Manning and the Packers, it has nothing to do with what happens on the practice field.

We'll see if the Hall of Famer's advice rubs off on the Packers and I'm sure we'll know when it does.
