Green Bay, however, is feeling excited for their first round pick of the 2020 Draft to see some regular season action. Even more so after a flawless display at Packers Family Night, in which he flashed a few Patrick Mahomes-style moments.
65,000 fans attended the event, a chance for fans to see an intrasquad scrimmage with all of its star players and reserve squad involved. Family Night is tradition in Green Bay, and the most sought after training event of the year in the Wisconsin town.

Jordan Love’s Mahomes-esque moment came in a TD throw to star RB Aaron Jones. As the QB was approached by two defenders, he threaded the needle perfectly between both of them. Finding Jones for the score and hyping up fans on the Saturday exhibition at Lambeau Field.
Other flashy moments of the night included a dart to rookie TE Luke Musgrave, followed by a pinpoint pass to second-year WR Christian Watson to succesfully complete the two-minute drill.
