According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Love has met with the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and the Indianapolis Colts.
The NFL has not allowed front office and coaching staff to travel to meet with draft prospects due to the coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic.

In past mock drafts, Love has been linked to all of these teams.
The Saints would be a difficult place for Love to shine as a starter with Drew Brees re-signing with the team and with head coach Sean Payton being a fan of former BYU quarterback Taysom Hill to succeed Brees when he retires.
New Orleans has the 24th pick in the draft.
The Green Bay Packers is an intriguing destination for Love with Rodgers nearing the end of his career, Love could be in a similar situation that Rodgers was in when he came into the league and was the backup to Brett Favre.
Green Bay has the 30th pick in the draft.
The Los Angeles Chargers will be a place that if Love was drafted by the franchise because their longtime starting quarterback Phillip Rivers is now with the Indianapolis Colts. It has been a debate as to who the No. 3 quarterback in the draft is between Love and Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.
Los Angeles has the 6th pick in the draft.
Las Vegas is another interesting destination for Love with the uncertainty if the franchise is all in on quarterback Derek Carr. Love would thrive under head coach Jon Gruden.
The Raiders hold the 12th pick in the draft.
Miami won’t likely take Love with the 5th pick in the draft because many believe that spot belongs to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. But, if the Lions, Giants or Redskins decide to take Tua before the Dolphins, that would be the only scenario where Love could go to Miami but with the Redskins and Giants each drafting a quarterback last year and with the Lions still linked to Matthew Stafford, that is unlikely.
The Colts were in a favorable spot for Love before they signed Phillip Rivers and traded the 13th pick in the draft to San Francisco in exchange for Deforest Buckner.
The NFL Draft will take place April 23-25.
