The Green Bay Packers and rookie quarterback Jordan Love have reportedly agreed to a contract that no other player selected in 26th place has ever received.
Love and the Packers agreed on a four-year contract for $ 12.38 million, according to the NFL Network. The money is fully guaranteed, which is the first time that the state of Utah is getting a guaranteed deal after being selected as No. 25 or lower in the draft. It also includes a $ 6.6 million signing bonus.

The packers seemed to be thinking about the future when they exchanged the design for Love.
He was the fourth quarterback in the first round of the draft and probably the biggest surprise in the first round since Green Bay was able to get Aaron Rodgers out of the way for a few more years.

Rodgers said in May that he was initially surprised by the move.
“I think the first reaction [to the Packers selecting Love] was a surprise, ”he said, according to Packers.com. “I’m not going to say I was thrilled with the choice, but I understand. The organization thinks not only of the present, but also of the future, and I respect that. I understand their focus and mindset. “
