'Aaron Rodgers 2.0'? Cowboys' Micah Parsons Scouts 'Fearless' Packers QB Jordan Love in Playoffs

'Aaron Rodgers 2.0'? Micah Parsons Scouts Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love Ahead of Dallas Cowboys Playoff

ARLINGTON - How highly does Micah Parsons think of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who leads his team into today's NFL playoff game meeting at AT&T Stadium?

Highly enough to compare the first-year starter to his legendary predecessor.

You can tell he played under Aaron Rodgers,” Parsons said of Love. “Some of his mechanics, some of his movements and reads. And fearlessness.''

Those are outstanding traits, and Dallas Cowboys know all too well how four-time MVP Rodgers - who left Green Bay last year in a trade to the New York Jets - embodied all of that.

Love, of course, sat behind Rodgers for a few seasons before finally getting his crack at the top job this year. And eventually? The Pack finished 9-7 to capture the No. 7 seed, setting up this Sunday afternoon showdown against the 12-5 Cowboys.

Love finished the regular season completing 64 percent of his passes for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. ... with those 32 TD throws putting him behind only Dallas' Dak Prescott with 36.

The Packers are working for an upset in this 3:30 p.m. tilt as they are 7-point underdogs. If they pull it off? Jordan Love figures to be a reason why ... and so does his emulation of his precessessor.

"You can tell,'' Micah said of Love, "he learned a lot from Rodgers."
