Jordan Love’s transformation from ‘Sticks’ to Packers’ future QB – Green Bay Packers Blog

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jordan Love needs a nickname — or at least a new one.

The old one — “Nutella Sticks,” coined by his high school teammates — no longer applies.

Love isn’t the short, thin, easily breakable snack stick that comes with the sweet spread.

“He was 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds as a freshman,” said Bryan Nixon, varsity football coach at Love’s Liberty High School in Bakersfield, California.

“He might have been 130 on a good day,” said linebacker Krys Barnes, Love’s high school teammate.
