Jordan Love, Wife Thank Packers Teammates for Baby Gifts — Including a “Secret” Surprise From Aaron Rodgers

 

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers’ offseason has already been filled with roster questions and draft projections, but inside the locker room, there’s a different kind of celebration unfolding.

Quarterback Jordan Love and his wife, Ronika Stone, are preparing to welcome their first child — and this week, the couple publicly thanked members of the Packers organization for what they described as “overwhelming love and generosity.”

The announcement of their baby girl earlier this year sparked congratulations across the league, but according to Love, the most meaningful support came from inside his own building.

“We’ve felt nothing but support from this locker room,” Love said in a brief offseason appearance. “The guys really showed up for us. It means more than they know.”

Teammates reportedly surprised the couple with personalized baby gifts, including custom green-and-gold onesies stitched with “Love 10” on the back, a miniature football signed by offensive teammates, and a framed team photo with handwritten messages welcoming the newest member of the Packers family.

But it was one particular gift that caught Love off guard.

According to multiple sources close to the situation, Packers legend Aaron Rodgers sent what the couple described as a “private and deeply personal” package — a handwritten letter accompanied by a small, engraved silver bracelet for the baby.

The bracelet reportedly features a subtle inscription: “Write your own story.”

Rodgers, who mentored Love during his early years in Green Bay, is said to have included a note reflecting on fatherhood, leadership, and legacy — encouraging Love to embrace both roles with patience and perspective.

“Some advice means more when it’s written down,” Love said with a smile. “That one meant a lot.”

While Rodgers has largely stayed out of public commentary this offseason, the gesture underscores the bond that formed during their time together in Green Bay — a relationship that evolved from succession storyline to mutual respect.

Inside the Packers facility, teammates have embraced the moment as more than just offseason news.

Veterans on the roster reportedly organized a small gathering after workouts last week, presenting Love and Ronika with a custom rocking chair finished in Packers green, engraved with the phrase: “QB1 — Dad Mode.”

“It’s bigger than football,” one teammate said. “We’re a family in that locker room. When one of us wins in life, we all celebrate it.”

For Love, the timing adds a new layer of motivation heading into the 2026 season. The 27-year-old quarterback is coming off one of the strongest stretches of his career and now prepares to balance NFL expectations with first-time fatherhood.

“This next chapter is special,” Love said. “Football is important. But becoming a dad — that’s the biggest responsibility I’ll ever have.”

As Green Bay looks ahead to another playoff push, the franchise quarterback’s focus may soon expand beyond reads and coverages.

And thanks to a locker room full of support — and one quiet, meaningful gift from a former MVP — Jordan Love’s growing family already feels right at home in Green Bay.

Head Coach Nick Sirianni Addresses A.J. Brown’s Future, Giving Eagles Fans Reason to Believe He Could Stay in Philly
PHILADELPHIA — After weeks of speculation surrounding the future of A.J. Brown, Nick Sirianni finally addressed the situation directly. While his response stopped short of a definitive guarantee, it offered enough reassurance for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles to believe their star receiver could still remain in Philadelphia. Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, Sirianni acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the league. Rather than issuing a firm promise about 2026, he emphasized both the business realities of the NFL and the mutual desire between himself and Brown to continue their partnership. “I can’t guarantee how anything’s going to play out into the next season. I can’t guarantee that. I mean, I’m thinking I’m going to be the head coach next season, but you can’t guarantee anything past tomorrow. Like Howie said, everybody is… it’s hard to get good players in this league. AJ’s a great player. And AJ’s a good teammate, and AJ’s a good person. Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes. So, hopefully that works.” Nick Sirianni stands up for AJ Brown, calling him a great player, teammate and person “Do I want him to be here? Yes”Full quote from Sirianni: “I can't guarantee how anything's going to play out into the next season. I can't guarantee that, I mean, I'm thinking I'm going to… pic.twitter.com/ovR5eUMyvO — Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) February 24, 2026 That quote may not eliminate all uncertainty, but it shifts the tone. In a league where trade rumors can spiral quickly, hearing a head coach publicly affirm mutual interest carries weight. It signals alignment rather than division. Brown remains the centerpiece of Philadelphia’s passing attack. He has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in most seasons of his career and continues to be one of the most physical, dominant wide receivers in the NFL. His chemistry within the Eagles’ offensive structure is a key component of the team’s championship aspirations. From a strategic standpoint, there is little incentive for the Eagles to weaken one of their strongest positions. General manager Howie Roseman has consistently maintained that the organization listens to every offer, but listening does not equate to actively shopping a franchise cornerstone. The most important part of Sirianni’s comments may have been the simplest: “Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes.” In an offseason full of hypotheticals, those two answers stand out. Nothing in the NFL is guaranteed. But for Eagles fans, Sirianni’s remarks suggest that A.J. Brown staying in Philly remains not just possible — but realistic.
