Last season, Love led the NFL with 81 passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield.
Of the 35 quarterbacks with at least 25 deep passing attempts, Love ranked 15th in completion percentage, 16th in yards per attempt and 16th in passer rating, according to Pro Football Focus.
So, Love was decent in that phase of the game but not great.
He’s been much better during training camp, and the one pass he threw on Saturday was perfect.
Love looked off the safety, and the accuracy couldn’t have been any better had the ball been placed directly in Wicks’ hands.
With Josh Jacobs, AJ Dillon and third-round rookie MarShawn Lloyd, Wilson entered training camp on the roster bubble.
However, Wilson delivered a quick reminder that he is a legitimate NFL runner.
After leading the NFL in preseason rushing last year, Wilson carried 13 times for 67 yards. He got the ball seven times on Green Bay’s second touchdown drive. Wilson gained 36 yards on those runs. By our count, he gained 23 yards after contact on those plays. On a 23-yard run in the third quarter, he broke a tackle and gained 18 yards after contact.
“He was able to stick his foot in the ground and get outside and we all know the speed he has.
He’s got real speed,” coach Matt LaFleur said.
“The challenge to him pregame was make sure you’re running your feet on contact and run through people, and I thought for the most part that happened.”
DuBose is battling Malik Heath, Bo Melton and Samori Toure for the final spot or two at receiver.
DuBose continued an excellent stretch of practices by catching 5-of-6 targets for 66 yards.
