Commanders' NFC East rival is the team to watch for Jeremiyah Love

Could the Giants, not the Titans, be the team to watch for the Notre Dame star? That's what one prominent insider says.

It's become increasingly likely that Notre Dame star Jeremiyah Love will not be on the board when the Washington Commanders are on the clock at No. 7 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Love, the 6-foot-0, 212-pound running back who some consider the best overall player in the draft, ruined any chance the Commanders had of selecting him with a standout performance at the 2026 NFL combine.

A popular pick in mock drafts after the combine was Love to the Tennessee Titans at No. 4 overall. Tennessee's successful free-agency haul did nothing to dispel those rumors, as new coach Robert Saleh loaded up on defense and added a top receiver, Wan'Dale Robinson, for second-year quarterback.

Then, there is Washington's NFC East rival, the New York Giants. With Tyrone Tracy, who rushed for 839 yards as a rookie two years ago, and Cam Skattebo, who was on his way to a standout rookie campaign in 2025 until he dislocated his ankle, the Giants certainly wouldn't consider Love. Right?

Not so fast. Remember, New York has a new head coach. John Harbaugh now calls the shots in the Big Apple.
