    We are deep into offseason content, I know, but this one is actually pretty cool. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was interviewed by the Bleacher Report, and they asked him to design an unstoppable offensive play, however he wanted to, and with whichever offensive pieces he desired. The end result was fun.

    At first, Love chose some big NFL stars to help him and decided for an empty formation, showing he isn’t afraid of the burden on the quarterback. Former teammate Davante Adams would be in the slot, as the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver would run a choice route. Travis Kelce, from the Kansas City Chiefs, would be the tight end running over the top to clear the defense. Tyreek Hill would align as a Z, with a slot fade utilizing his amazing speed to stress the defense vertically.

    Then, it became interesting because Love selected two Packers’ offensive players to round out his call.

    The first one was running back Josh Jacobs . Despite it being an empty formation, they would have the back aligning out wide to make a hitch route. That would also be useful to declare what the defense is doing.

    Finally, and that could be an indication of what’s ahead for the Packers in 2024, Love selected Romeo Doubs as the X receiver.

    "He's one of my favorite fade targets,” Love highlighted. "He's going to come down with the ball, I know that 100%.”

    Skill set

    The Packers don’t have a clear primary wide receiver in 2024, so Matt LaFleur is expected to utilize at least the top five of the depth chart (Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Bo Melton) depending on the circumstances and gameplans.

    And Doubs really has Love’s confidence , especially on fade routes. Last year, the second-year receiver was tied for first on the team with eight touchdown receptions, and some of them were running that and fighting for a contested ball.

    While the offensive play Jordan Love designed wasn’t overly complex, it would be really hard to stop it, in fact. Mostly, because any play would be unstoppable with Love, Adams, Kelce, and Hill on the field at the same time. But it was also interesting to see how Love trusts newcomer Josh Jacobs and one of his receivers to put them in this ideal scenario.
