LeRoy Butler is loving what he’s seeing from Jordan Love and his former Packers squad so much … he tells TMZ Sports he can “absolutely” see the team making a deep run in the postseason.
We spoke with the Green Bay legend following the Pack’s upset win over the Chiefs at Lambeau Field … and he made it crystal clear to us that he’s fired up about his old team’s potential.
“We’re so excited for Jordan Love,” Butler said … before adding, “Listen, he’s on fire.”
Butler then actually sent a thank you message to the New York Jets … believing they did his Packers a favor by acquiring Aaron Rodgers in an offseason trade.
“See, now it’s a band,” Butler said of the Love-led Packers. “Not just a solo act. That’s the difference.”
Butler tells us he thinks the Packers’ hot streak — which now includes wins in four of their last five games — will continue … explaining he thinks the roster is too young to be affected by potential trap games or treacherous road matchups.
Up next for Green Bay is a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants … and in a month from now, maybe a playoff game will be on Green Bay’s schedule?? Butler certainly thinks so!!
