The Green Bay Packers and rookie quarterback Jordan Love reportedly agreed to a contract that no other players selected at No. 26 have ever received.
Love and the Packers agreed to a four-year, $12.38 million deal, according to the NFL Network. The money is fully guaranteed, making the Utah State standout the first to ever receive a guaranteed deal after being selected No. 25 or lower in the draft. It also includes a $6.6 million signing bonus.
