Jordan Love is not only the most enigmatic quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft class, but arguably overall, amongst all prospects. In a league searching for the next Patrick Mahomes, Love’s skillset is the closest thing you will get to the reigning Super Bowl MVP in this class. However, that’s only when he’s on his game. Love’s highs show the talent level of a blue-chip prospect, while his lows peg him more of a mid to late-round developmental guy. His arm talent and ability to make throws from different positions is breathtaking. He possesses the type of mobility NFL teams are in search of in a modern-day quarterback.
However, his 2019 tape was not good. He took a major step back from an accuracy point of view and struggled mightily with turnovers, tossing 17 picks on the year. His struggles could be chalked up to losing numerous playmakers on the outside from his sophomore to junior season. Although, his digression in reading defenses from year two to year three overshadows that thought. Still, his traits are out of this world, he looks the part, and when he’s right he has the look of an All-Pro signal-caller. If there’s any quarterback outside of the trio of Tua, Burrow, and Herbert that will sneak their way into the top-10 it’s Love.
