Packers’ backup QB Jordan Love appears to have turned things around at Packers minicamp.
On Tuesday, Love struggled on the field which led to many Packers fans to freak out considering Aaron Rodgers continues to be adamant about wanting to get traded by the team.
Notes from Minicamp practice No. 1
* Jordan Love struggled with accuracy. 12-23 passing in team, including failed 2-minute drill.
* Davante Adams was present but did very little.
* Devin Funchess looks the part.
* Jaire Alexander with a big PBU (what else is new).

Less than 24 hours later and Packers beat reporters were gushing over Love’s latest performance at practice.
On Wednesday, several writers noted how much better Love looked as he took a majority of the snaps.

Jordan Love with his fourth dime of practice. An absolutely perfect throw in tight coverage to Aaron Jones down the right sideline. Impressive catch by Jones and Love is now getting fanned off by coaches because he’s on fire.

What a stretch for Jordan Love:
* Wheel route to AJ Dillon right sideline for 30 yards.
* Free play deep to Lazard for 45.
* Deep corner route to Juwann Winfee for 30.
* Deep sideline to Aaron Jones for 30.
He was so 🔥 that TE coach Justin Outten started fanning him.

Love later ended 2:00 with a TD to Allen Lazard. This is the journey of a young QB. Yesterday, when Love struggled with accuracy, is part of it, too. It’s shorts and helmets in June. But today was the best I’ve seen him be. He should feel great about how he answered the bell. https://t.co/ZJ39EEFlWM

After his impressive practice session Love stated that he’s ready to be the Packers’ starting QB on week 1.
Jordan Love on if he's ready to be the Week 1 starter if it got to that point: "100%. This is a time where I'm getting a lot of extremely valuable reps that I might not have gotten in normal circumstances. … I was drafted here to play QB so I’ll definitely be ready Week 1." pic.twitter.com/7uedTIEdfj
