Wednesday’s training session marked the Packers’ first day of training camp without Aaron Rodgers following his trade to the New York Jets. The NFL veteran had been in Green Bay for 18 years but now Jordan Love is set to take over the signal calling duties for Matt LaFleur. And, on the night before his first training camp workout as the new Packers’ starting quarterback received some advice from his four-time MVP predecessor.

Love said Wednesday that Rodgers texted him the previous evening. When the Packers traded Rodgers to the Jets the week of the draft, it cleared the way for Love to take over as Green Bay’s first-team quarterback. ‘He said just be yourself, have fun, enjoy it,’ Love said.

‘It´s obviously my time now, and he just said be yourself. And I mean, that´s all you can do. ‘ Love backed up Rodgers the last three seasons, just as Rodgers earned Green Bay´s starting spot in 2008 after spending three years as Hall of Famer Brett Favre’s backup.

He´s put the work in. ‘ Love also has the support of his teammates. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs said ‘we have the utmost confidence in him.

‘ ‘We want Mr. Love to feel the love,’ running back Aaron Jones said. ‘That´s going to bring up his confidence and I think that´s just going to help him play even better.

‘ Love took it upon himself to gather as many of those teammates together during the offseason. After Love, Doubs and Jones worked out together in California before organized team activities and minicamp, they wanted to have a larger gathering leading up to training camp.
