“When football started this fall, I wanted to leave. It was not even so serious. I was no one. I was the smallest kid on the field – literally. My first year, I had 5’6”, 136 pounds. Maybe 5’7 “with my vans.
The quarter of the packers said that his mother said him to leave and made him an agreement.
“(Mom) saw through me. She saw how much I suffered. I was simply not in my good spirit. So she made an agreement with me,” wrote Love.

Love said without her mother and “without this football brotherhood, I would never have done it.”
“This camaraderie of football brought me out of a really dark and lonely place. Through everything, the only thing I could always count on was my friends and family. There is simply no way that I would be here without them. No way I would have made Bakersfield. No way in hell that I would be the quarter of the Green Bay Packers,” said Love.
LOVE enters its fifth season, all with the packers, and its third season as a quarter-back starting from the team.
Last season, the team was 9-6 in the departures of Love, and it had a percentage of completion of 63.1% with 3,389 yards and 25 affected with 11 interceptions.
