In this concise piece, we will look at both players' legacies and how productive their professional football careers have been. So without further ado, let's get down to analyzing.

Josh Love's Career Timeline

Josh Love played his college football for San Jose State from 2015 to 2019. He redshirted his first season in college and was given a scholarship at the end of the year. His second year in college was productive as Love played in all 12 of his team's games, serving as the holder on the field goal unit and making 31 of 60 passes for 392 passing yards with two TDs and five picks.

In his third year, Love played in nine games, completing 54.1% of his passes for 928 yards and five TDs with seven interceptions. He took over the school starting job in year four and finished the year with 1,963 yards and 14 TDs, making 56.1% of his passes.

His final season in college was arguably his best, as Josh started all 12 games and ended the season with 3,923 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. He won some awards in his final season, such as the first-team All-Mountain West Conference and Offensive Player of the Year. He declared for the 2020 NFL Draft but was undrafted.

Since going undrafted in 2020, Josh Love has been on the practice squads of the Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers. He has also played USFL ball for the Pittsburgh Maulers and Michigan Panthers. Love set the USFL record for the best completion rate, with 90 percent of his passes completed in the first game of the 2023 USFL season.

Jordan Love's Career Timeline

On the other hand, Jordan Love played college football at Utah State University and was selected by the Green Bay Packers in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Jordan Love was a two-star recruit coming out of college and chose to play for Utah State over other schools like Eastern Washington, Northern Colorado, Sacramento State and Northern Arizona. Love redshirted his first season at Utah State in 2016.

The real action started in the 2017 college football season, and Jordan Love did not disappoint. The future NFL draftee played in 12 games and started the final six. He ended the season completing 129 of 235 passes for 1,631 yards, eight TDs, and six interceptions.

His third year at college was even better, as Jordan started all 13 games, completing 267 of 417 passes for a school season-record 3,567 yards with 32 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was an unmovable force at Utah State all season long.

Love returned for his fourth and last season in Utah and did not disappoint. He started all 13 games, completing 293 of 473 passes for 3,402 yards with 20 TDs and a career-high 17 picks. Following the conclusion of the 2019 college football season, he declared for the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Green Bay Packers selected Jordan Love as the 26th overall pick of that year's draft. Despite his talents, Love was made to be a backup for his first three years in Green Bay due to the presence of future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Rogers has since moved on to the New York Jets, so it's Love's time to show what he's worth.
