The NFC North underwent a good deal of shuffling this offseason, but it remains one of the most challenging divisions in football.<\/p>\n

To come out on top, the Green Bay Packers will have to fend off the defending NFC North champion Lions, a Vikings team that won 14 games last season, and an up-and-coming Bears squad with a new head coach. Quarterback play will have a huge say in who takes the crown.<\/p>\n

According to Bears reporter Courtney Cronin, Jordan Love has more proving to do than the others.<\/p>\n

NFC North Reporters Share Opinions on Rival QBs<\/h2>\n

In ESPN\u2019s ranking exercise<\/a>, NFC North reporters had four quarterbacks to chose from: Love, Jared Goff (Detroit), Caleb Williams (Chicago), and J.J. McCarthy (Vikings). Of these, Goff is the only one who can be rightfully called a veteran; 2025 will be his 10th season as a pro.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Love is heading into third year as a starter, Caleb Williams will be a sophomore, and McCarthy is technically a rookie after missing all of last season with a torn meniscus. Overall, this season will mark Love\u2019s fifth in the league after the Packers drafted him with the 26th pick in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n
