The Green Bay Packers don’t face the Pittsburgh Steelers for another 4 ½ months.

But Packers quarterback Jordan Love can’t wait.

The Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers — who played his first 18 seasons in Green Bay — last Friday. And Love, who spent his first three seasons as the backup to Rodgers, is already excited to square off against his former teammate.

“It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be very fun,” Love said of the Oct. 26 matchup in Pittsburgh. “I’m excited about that.

“I was excited just to hear about him finally signing with the Steelers and knowing we’re going to face off, I think it will be very special for him obviously to be able to come back and play the Packers.”

Rodgers won four MVP awards in Green Bay and led the Packers to a Super Bowl championship in 2010. Green Bay traded Rodgers to the New York Jets in April, 2023, where things went poorly for all involved.

The Jets released Rodgers this offseason. Now, Rodgers and the Steelers will face the Jets in Week 1 and the Packers in Week 8.

“It’s going to be a special game for him,” Love said of Rodgers facing the Packers. “And you know, definitely … I want to get that jersey after the game, be able to swap.”

Brett Favre faced the Packers four times in 2009-2010 when he joined the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings went 2-0 against the Packers in 2009, and Favre threw seven touchdowns and no interceptions in those two games.

Rodgers and the Packers got some revenge in 2010, defeating Minnesota twice on their way to a Super Bowl title.

Love and Rodgers were friendly as teammates, and Love will be excited to see his former mentor.

“We exchanged some texts, just congratulated him with that and same thing, told him that we’re going to need to swap jerseys after the game,” Love said. “He’s excited about it.”
