The Green Bay Packers are aware that 2025 will be a crucial year for Jordan Love. With Sean Mannion taking over as the Packers' quarterbacks coach, the team is confident in Love as their leader ahead of his fifth season.
Mannion, a former third-round pick, played for head coach Matt LaFleur in 2017 with the Los Angeles Rams. He plans to use the knowledge he gained with LaFleur as a player and bestow it upon Love, he told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
“For me, it really starts with footwork,” Mannion said. “That's something that all quarterbacks need to focus on, but I know really when I first was exposed to it was with Matt [LaFleur] in L.A. in 2017. It was kind of a foundational moment in my playing career. I got so much better from understanding how the footwork helps your accuracy, it helps your decision-making, it helps the timing of the play.”
After serving as an offensive assistant in 2024, Mannion is stepping into his first season as the team's quarterbacks coach, replacing Thomas Clements. Having spent his nine-year career with three different teams, the 33-year-old knows how valuable consistency is for a young quarterback.
“I want to make [the offense] familiar for Jordan, but I kind of sprinkle in some things from my own experience to maybe just change things up here and there, try to stimulate a couple of things with his development,” Mannion added. “But we want it to be familiar with Jordan and really just get feedback from Matt, [Adam Stenavich], everybody in the quarterback room on how we can best support Jordan. Because, ultimately, that's what's important.”
