Green Bay's preseason schedule has put quarterback on the same field with a couple of players who can identify with the challenge he faces in replacing four-time MVP .New England's , who became the ' starting quarterback about 18 months after Tom Brady's departure, is in Green Bay this week for a couple of joint practices and an exhibition game with the Packers.That comes a week after Green Bays joint practice and exhibition game at Cincinnati had the Packers facing backup quarterback , who succeeded Peyton Manning in .Jones spoke after Wednesdays practice se sion about the advice hed give Love based on his own experience. The situations are a little different because Cam Newton was Bradys direct succe sor in New England, though the seven-time Louis Williams Jersey Super Bowl champ still cast quite a shadow as Jones began his rookie season in 2021."Tom Bradys the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL," Jones said. "To follow up on him, its trying to chase the standard that he set every day. Honestly, were definitely two different players. Thats the only advice Id have: Just continue to grow and be yourself. Thats all you can do is put your best foot forward and compete. Its definitely big shoes Tobias Harris Jersey to fill."Love backed up Rodgers the past three seasons but ascended to the starting role after Rodgers was traded to the . Coincidentally, Rodgers started his career by backing up Hall of Famer Brett Favre for three seasons."Obviously, weve had some really great quarterbacks here," Love said after a practice se sion that was highlighted by a 75-yard completion to . "The standards kind of set and youre trying to continue to raise your game until you get to that bar and continue to go past it once you get there."The Packers have prepared their young offense for the first year of the post-Rodgers era by scheduling an extra set of joint practice se sions. They traditionally had practiced against just one team in training camp.Love says these joint practices offer him something different than what he encounters in exhibition games. Love played Chris Paul Jersey two series Friday when the Packers opened their preseason schedule with a 36-19 victory at Cincinnati."I think theres more looks in joint practices," Love said. "I think the defense is giving us more looks that they might not do in a preseason game. Theyre trying to work things as well, and were trying to work some new concepts, so I think you dive a little bit more into the playbook."Love believes he has benefited from all the work hes done. Asked Wednesday whether hes still thinking too much rather than reacting, Love gave an emphatic response."I dont think so at all," Love said. "I think Im out there playing right now. I think Montrezl Harrell Jersey if anything, the reps that Ive had over the years is just built-up confidence, seeing different looks, things like that."Pats welcome Ezekiel ElliottPatriots running back welcomed the arrival of two-time NFL rushing leader , who was in Green Bay on Wednesday after officially signing with New England."That's my guy," said Stevenson, who said he met Elliott in 2021 and that theyve been pretty close ever since.Elliott rushed for 8,262 yards and 68 touchdowns in seven seasons at Dallas, but is likely to have more of a supporting role with the Patriots. Stevenson figures to be the lead back after rushing for 1,040 yards and averaging 5 yards per carry while also catching 69 pa ses for 421 yards last season.Stevenson said Elliotts addition would help the Patriots "tremendously" while discu sing what he liked most about his new teammate."The way Los Angeles Clippers Jersey he runs the ball, his determination, his relentle sne s," Stevenson said.
