Tue Apr 15 12:40:00 UTC 2025: **Packers QB Situation Promising Heading into 2025 Draft**
**Green Bay, WI –** The Green Bay Packers are in a strong position at quarterback heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, thanks to the strong performance of starter Jordan Love and the emergence of backup Malik Willis. Love, despite suffering a season-opening MCL sprain, led the Packers to an 11-win season and the playoffs, showcasing impressive arm strength with 3,389 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His deep ball accuracy was particularly noteworthy, tying him for sixth in the league in completions of 25+ yards.
However, turnovers remained a concern, highlighted by a three-interception game in the Wild Card playoff loss. Love will enter the offseason with a clean bill of health, having avoided any offseason knee procedures.
The surprise success story is Malik Willis, acquired from the Tennessee Titans for a seventh-round pick. Willis stepped in for the injured Love, making two critical starts and leading the Packers to victories. His performance was exceptional, resulting in a 124.8 passer rating – the highest single-season mark in NFL history for quarterbacks with at least 50 passing attempts.
The Packers released previous draft picks Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt, but Clifford remains on the practice squad. General Manager Brian Gutekunst hasn’t ruled out adding another quarterback through the draft or undrafted free agency, although it would mark a rare occurrence of drafting a quarterback three years in a row if they do. Coach Matt LaFleur is enthusiastic about working with Willis during a full offseason, a first for the young quarterback. The team is currently carrying only three quarterbacks.
The article also briefly touched upon other roster decisions, including the kicker position and a potential safety overhaul. The Packers must finalize their 53-man roster by Tuesday afternoon.
