Last year, the Packers brought back quarterback coach Tom Clements after apparent insistence from Aaron Rodgers. And Clements could be one of the keys to getting the most out of Rodgers’ successor.
On Saturday, Packers coach Matt Lafleur praised Clements for helping Love prepare for his new starter status at Green Bay.
“Just watching him last year, I think Jordan has come a long way,” LeFleur told reporters via NFL.com’s Brenna White. “I really do, I think Much of it is credited to TomHe just knows how to train these guys. He knows how to dig it and is very consistent. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It is just a fact and I think there is no doubt.”
There’s no doubt that Clements, Brett Favre’s Green Bay dating back to the Packers last year because of Rodgers.
“Aaron would praise him and give him a lot of credit for his personal development,” he told Fleur. “I think any time you have a player like that, especially that talent and how much respect you have for a guy like Aaron, you always listen to that.”
