Packers fans thrilled by Jordan Love's early TD pass to Dontayvion Wicks: "Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams again"

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers played their first preseason game of the season against the Cleveland Browns. The 25-year-old quarterback didn't play much but managed to connect with wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks for a 65-yard touchdown.

The Packers fans were full of praise for the duo and are very excited for the upcoming season. Wicks drew comparisons to Davante Adams last season, and after scoring a touchdown against the Browns today, one Packers fan even suggested that they have found a new duo similar to Aaron Rodgers and Adams.

Here's how the fans on X reacted to Love's 65-yard touchdown pass to Wicks:

"Already showing why they paid him. GREAT PASS!" said one fan

"Love deserved every penny of his deal unlike Tua.", said another while talking about Packers QB's contract extension

"Wicks SZN baby", said one fan while showing his excitement for the young wideout

"I really knew Wicks was gonna be good bro. His route running was good enough to me.", said another user on X

The Packers drafted Wicks in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Although he didn't put up big numbers during his rookie season, he will be a big part of the team's offense going forward.

Apart from Wicks, the Packers also have other talented receivers like Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed. Given the supporting cast around him, Love has the potential to put up big numbers and assert his place among the top-five quarterbacks in the league.

Jordan Love and the Packers can be the best team in the NFC

The Packers finished the previous season with a 9-8 record and won a playoff game. They came close to defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round but fell short.

Jordan Love and the young Packers team likely learned a lot from their strong finish last season and have the potential to be the best team in the conference this year. The 49ers have the best roster in the NFC, but concerns about Brandon Aiyuk's future with the team could create some challenges.

Jordan Love recently signed a massive four-year, $220,000,000 contract extension, and he will be motivated to justify his worth. The Packers should improve their record from last season, and that will position their quarterback into an MVP candidate as well.

The future looks bright for the Packers, and this upcoming season will be a litmus test for the success they had at the end of the last season.
