What happened: Green Bay's 2025 passing attack generated the NFL's third-most EPA on dropbacks, trailing only New England and Los Angeles. The Packers logged 551 dropbacks, the league's fourth-lowest total.

Why it matters: That combination strengthens the case for increasing Love's passing volume in 2026. He completed 291 of 439 attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions across 15 starts.

By the numbers: Green Bay ranked third in dropback EPA despite ranking 29th in dropback volume. Love posted a 66.3% completion rate, 7.7 yards per attempt and a 101.2 passer rating in 2025.

What to watch: Training camp and early-season play-calling will show whether Green Bay gives Love a larger share of the offense.
