Packers quarterback Jordan Love opens up in podcast about losing his 'superhero' dad as a teenager, how his mom is a 'blessing'

For young Green Bay Packers fans today, quarterback Jordan Love might seem to them like a superhero.

A player who can wow them with his side-arm and off-balance throws. A player who is unflappable on the field. A player who leads their favorite team.

Love's superhero was always his dad.

The man who fought crime as a police officer. The man who taught him to throw a football and who played catch with him in the front yard. The man who would tell his colleagues at the Bakersfield Police Department that one day his son would be in the NFL.
