Big Escalade” Doesn’t Talk Much—But He Reviews Every Hit Jordan Love Takes, Alone
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Anthony Belton isn’t loud. He doesn’t have a signature sack dance or a favorite press quote. But ask anyone in the Packers facility what he does after every game, and you’ll hear the same answer:
“He asks for the tape.”
But not just any tape—Belton requests a cut of every moment Jordan Love is hit, touched, hurried, or sacked. Then he locks himself in the film room and watches in silence.
“It’s not punishment,” he explains. “It’s responsibility.”
Belton believes protecting the quarterback doesn’t end at the whistle. “Every pressure means I missed something. I need to know what, or I’m not doing my job.”
He takes notes. Rewinds clips. Measures hand placement. Studies foot angles. All so the next game, Jordan stays cleaner.
His offensive line coach calls it “obsessive humility.”
“He doesn’t blame others,” the coach says. “He blames technique. And then he fixes it.”
Jordan Love, asked about it, smiled. “I trust that man more than anyone I’ve never thrown a ball to.”
Belton doesn’t seek headlines. But the league is starting to notice. Because in a sport built on hits, he’s building a career on prevention—and quiet accountability.
