ss Former Patriots WR1 Stuns NFL by Praising Jordan Love — Fans Explode: “He Wants Green Bay!”

Green Bay, Wisconsin – The tension between Kendrick Bourne and the San Francisco 49ers continues to escalate, but this time it’s not about snaps or targets. After being pushed down to WR4 despite still performing solidly, Bourne has sent shockwaves through the NFL by showering praise on Jordan Love, the star quarterback leading the Packers in their playoff push. With Bourne seemingly being sidelined in San Francisco, the comment has exploded even louder in the public eye.

Bourne was once the beloved WR1 in New England, and the weeks of losing his role in San Francisco have made the comparison between the two environments even sharper. In his latest remarks, Bourne suddenly turned his attention to Wisconsin and praised Love, who is having a breakout season with the Packers: “Even in a season full of harsh criticism, Jordan Love still plays with the calmness and class that makes everyone take notice. When the ball leaves his hand, you feel the difference right away, and it’s hard to find a wide receiver who wouldn’t want to run routes for a quarterback like that.”

49ers fans erupted in anger instantly. They accused Bourne of “digging his own grave” at the exact moment his roster spot is shaky. Many mocked him, saying he’s “already got one foot in Green Bay,” while others believe this is simply the honest voice of a player who feels undervalued and craves a place where he’s truly appreciated. Once adored by the Faithful, many 49ers fans turned their backs today because of those words.

Kyle Shanahan declined to comment deeply on the praise for Love, only stressing that “everyone’s role is already defined.” Yet the reality is undeniable: Bourne is no longer part of the offensive priority list. With his contract expiring after the 2025 season, his statement has made departure rumors hotter than ever.

If Bourne really leaves the 49ers, the Packers will almost certainly be mentioned first as a destination. A rising system, a young quarterback maturing by the week, and a receiver room that has room for difference-makers – everything creates an extremely attractive landing spot. And when asked about his future, Bourne left only one cryptic line:

“You always want to play where you can truly make your mark. And sometimes, you know exactly where that place is.”
