“I can’t say enough about his leadership, his value, his importance to this football team. He is the one that leads us out there. I know he’s going to be a great mentor and I’m excited to get back to work with all these guys,” LaFleur said following the draft coming to an end Saturday, according to ESPN.

I can’t wait to watch this chaos unfold with Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers. I would have paid so much money to be with Rodgers when this pick came down the pipeline.

I have no doubt at all that he was absolutely furious. Rodgers isn’t the easiest guy on the planet to deal with, and the Packers just drafted his replacement.

LaFleur can say whatever he wants publicly, Rodgers can go along with it publicly, but we all know that this isn’t going well behind the scenes.

I don’t even blame Rodgers. I’d be furious too if I was in his shoes. As a Lions fan, I can’t wait to watch it all come crumbling down in Green Bay.
