Jordan Love is preparing for his first season as a full-time start for the Green Bay Packers — and he’s doing so with the help of a former All-Pro wide receiver.
On Friday, Chad Johnson posted a photo from a workout with the 24-year-old quarterback.

Johnson, 45, was once one of the most dominant receivers in the league. In 2006, he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,369 — reeling in 87 catches and seven touchdowns for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Love would certainly benefit from a receiver with this type of elite production. The Packers’ starting wide receiver lineup currently consists of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.
Love has some big shoes to fill after the departure of longtime Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but this veteran guidance from Johnson should be helpful as he embraces this challenge in 2023.
The Packers will kickoff their 2023 season with a Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sep. 10.
