Jordan Love revealed he had spoken to Aaron Rodgers and hopes to learn from the quarterback after being drafted by the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers traded up to take Utah State QB Love with the 26th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

Love, 21, said on Friday he had spoken to Rodgers, a two-time NFL MVP and a Super Bowl champion.

"I was able to talk with him earlier, really good guy, just congratulated me," he told ESPN.

"I just let him know I'm excited to be able to work with him."

Love added: "I mean it's a lot of things to be able to learn. I'm just going to take it step by step and just try and get behind him and learn everything that he's doing and just try and understand the process."

Touted as Rodgers' long-term replacement at Green Bay, Love was excited to be drafted.

"It's been a crazy journey for me, one with a lot of ups and downs," he said.

"It's an exciting time for me and my family to be able to experience this."
