NFC Notes: Jordan Love, Bears, Packers, Vikings

Bears

Packers

Packers HC Matt LaFleur believes QB Jordan Love can be “one of the elites” when all is said and done. 

โ€œIโ€™d hate to put a ceiling on him,โ€ LaFleur told The Athletic, โ€œbecause I think he can be one of the elites in this league.โ€

โ€œHe obviously has a lot of talent and a lot of the characteristics in terms of the mental makeup of what I think is so critical to guys being successful in this league,โ€ LaFleur said. โ€œHe never allows one moment to affect the next. He has an uncanny ability to stay so even-keeled.โ€

โ€œHis ceiling, itโ€™s all dependent on team success,โ€ LaFleur said. โ€œThatโ€™s how all quarterbacks are judged. Theyโ€™re judged on Super Bowls and winning, and theyโ€™re going to get too much credit when you do well and too much blame when you donโ€™t.โ€

Vikings

Vikings LB Gabriel Murphy enters the second year of his career after joining Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2024. 

“I think he had five (QB) hits or whatever it was, and Gabeโ€™s been a guy that has shown up daily at camp, highlighted in front of the team. It feels like [Gabe is] a man on a mission right now, in a lot of ways. And I’m just proud of him, proud of where he’s at in camp right now, and now he’s just got to set his sights on continuing to compete. I mentioned it to you guys how competitive that outside linebacker room is. And it’s because we’re so good at the top with really three starters and JG [Jonathan Greenard], Gink [Andrew Van Ginkel], and Dallas [Turner], and then we feel really, really good about Bo (Richter), Gabe and obviously the two young guys,” O’Connell said, via VikingsWire

  • Vikings HC Kevin Oโ€™Connell said WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is โ€œdefinitely progressing,โ€ but they won’t re-evaluate him until next week, via Ben Volin.
