2026 NFL Draft: Is Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love overhyped?
Some interesting stats from Jeremiyah Love's time at Notre Dame.
Is it possible we've been led to believe Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is better than he actually is? The Washington Commanders , who hold the No. 7 overall pick in next month's 2026 NFL Draft, are reportedly heavily interested in Love.
Yes, the running back really did rush for 1,372 yards for Notre Dame last season. Yes, it's also true that Love averaged an impressive 6. 9 yards per carry in 2025.
Yes, Love shined at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, running a 4. 3 40. Kevin Sheehan, on his The Team 980 show , brought up a point about Love's 2025 season that I personally had missed.
I am surprised I had missed this because, honestly, it involves something I have known for years. That is, your competition often influences just how good people "think" you are. How many high school basketball players have recorded impressive statistics but against average competition?
