Packers Legend Jordy Nelson Sparks Comeback Rumors After Jordan Love’s Dominant Win Over Steelers

October 28, 2025 – Green Bay, Wisconsin
Packers Nation is buzzing once again — and this time, it’s not just about Jordan Love’s brilliance. After Green Bay’s 35–25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, legendary wide receiver Jordy Nelson made a playful comment that instantly sent fans into a frenzy, wondering if he might actually be considering a one-year comeback.

Appearing on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football Monday morning, Nelson was asked about Love’s breakout performance. With his trademark grin, the former Super Bowl champion said: “That him can sling it. Watching him light up the Steelers defense gave me flashbacks. I might have to dust off the cleats and run a few routes at Lambeau again. I’m only 40 — I’ve still got a few deep balls left in me.”

Then, smiling even wider, Nelson added a cheeky jab at his old teammate: “Aaron’s one of the greatest ever — he can beat any defense in this league… but not ours, not in Lambeau.”

The lighthearted exchange immediately went viral, with fans flooding social media under hashtags like #JordyComeback, #LoveToNelson, and #RodgersVsLove. Fan edits showed Jordan Love and Jordy Nelson celebrating touchdowns together, with captions reading: “The past meets the future in Green Bay.”

⚠️ Reality Check: Just a Legend’s Joke
NFL reporters were quick to clarify: This is just Jordy Nelson joking, with no negotiations or return plans in place.A close source confirmed to ESPN: “Jordy was just having fun. He really likes Jordan Love’s and still loves the Packers, but he has absolutely no intention of returning to play.”

Packers President “Would Hand Him the Contract” When reporters asked about Nelson’s comments, Packers President Mark Murphy couldn’t resist joining in: “If Jordy says he wants to play one more season, I’d be the first to hand him the contract,” Murphy said. “He’s not just a player — he’s the embodiment of what the Packers stand for: joy, dedication, and winning. If he really came back, I believe the entire locker room and every fan at Lambeau would welcome him with open arms.”

Legacy Lives On
Of course, insiders confirmed there are no actual talks of a return — but for a fanbase still buzzing from Jordan Love’s rise and a statement win over Aaron Rodgers’ Steelers, Nelson’s comments hit home.
Even if it’s all in jest, Jordy Nelson once again reminded the world that legends never fade in Green Bay — they simply live on through the next great Packer who carries the torch. 💚💛
