Regarded for his size, fearlessness in the pocket and natural arm strength, Love solidified his status as a first-round talent after running a 4.74-second time in the 40-yard dash and posting a 35½-inch vertical at the NFL Scouting Combine.

His stock only continued to climb throughout the litany of virtual meetings Love conducted with NFL teams over the past month. Chief among them was the Packers.

"I had an hour meeting and was able to break down a lot of different plays and background," Love said. "I had a good conversation with them. I think that's what was able to let them have the confidence to pick me and have the trust in me."

Getting drafted by Green Bay, Love knows he'll get to learn from one of the best to ever play the quarterback position in Aaron Rodgers.

Growing up in California, Love said he's watched Rodgers his "whole life." A student of the game, Love has tried to take little things from the two-time MVP and apply it to his own game.
