Just 12 Hours After Being Cut, the Super Bowl “Unsung Hero” Shocks the NFL by Gushing Over Jordan Love — Experts Declare: “He Wants to Go to Green Bay!”
Green Bay, Wisconsin – Only half a day after the Detroit Lions released Ross Dwelley, the veteran tight end instantly became the talk of the NFL again. Despite a modest career spent mostly in a backup role, Dwelley is widely known as the ultimate “glue guy,” the silent hero on the 49ers’ deep playoff runs. And in his very first public appearance after being cut, he stunned everyone by going out of his way to praise Jordan Love, the quarterback currently steering the Packers back into NFC contention.

It happened during a late-night radio interview when Dwelley was asked which quarterbacks he’d most want to play with if given the chance. Instead of naming the usual MVPs like Mahomes or Lamar Jackson, he put Jordan Love first: “He plays calm in a way only the truly great QBs can. When you watch Love play, you can feel he’s in complete control of everything on the field. That’s the kind of quarterback every tight end wants to go to battle with,” Dwelley said.
Social media exploded immediately. Analysts from ESPN, NFL Network, and The Athletic all dropped the same take: Dwelley is “quietly sending a message” to the Packers, a team that just lost tight-end depth to injury. Plenty of Green Bay fans now see his praise as a blatant signal that he wants a career revival at Lambeau Field, especially while Love is playing the best football of his life.
On the flip side, some Lions and 49ers fans were upset. A few criticized Dwelley for praising a division rival’s QB right after getting cut. But for those who know Dwelley’s character, it was simply the sincerity of a blue-collar player who genuinely respects quarterbacks that elevate everyone around them. And while his future remains wide open, Dwelley added: “I just want to go somewhere I can create value, and sometimes you feel that place the moment you see how a quarterback leads his team.”
Now the question is whether the Packers will actually show interest in the veteran tight end who became a free agent just 12 hours ago. Whatever the answer, one glowing compliment for Jordan Love was enough to put Ross Dwelley, the former silent hero, back in the NFL spotlight in a way no one saw coming.
