The NFL Combine is over, and now we have over a month and a half of speculation, mock drafts and hot takes before we get to the first round of the NFL Draft on April 23. One player who is at the heart of the conversation is also a big winner at the combine: Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love.
We all know the stigma surrounding the running back position when it comes to the NFL Draft, but there have been a large number of exceptions over the past twenty years. Will Jeremiah Love be one of these exceptions?

Yes, yes, he will certainly be one of those exceptions. Before the draft, a number of people were saying that Love was the best player in the draft and that he wouldn’t move past the Kansas City Chiefs at No. 9 overall. After the combine, the praise and expectations went up another notch. But don’t take my word for it: here are some of the many examples of the Jeremiah Love Hype train taking off from the station.
Basically, Love’s draft ceiling is at #3 with the Arizona Cardinals and the floor is probably at #8 with the New Orleans Saints – sorry KC, but you don’t exist here anymore.

There are two entities that don’t care who the better player is – and they both involve college football. I’m obviously talking about the Heisman Trophy and the NFL Draft. Jeremiah Love definitely falls into both categories. Love IS the best player in this year’s draft, and unless there’s a big trade, we should expect him to go to the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, or New York Giants.
Love is considered one of the best running backs of the last decade. Regardless of which team selects him, their offense is considerably better than it was last season…because he’s the best player in the draft.
