Clinton Portis knows running backs well and he broke down Jeremiyah Love's game.

Clinton Portis knows something about running backs. Portis, the former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos running back, was a guest on the Grant & Danny Show on Thursday on 106. 7 The Fan.

With the NFL draft two weeks away (April 23, Round 1), Portis was, of course, asked to come and discuss the upcoming draft and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. The former Redskins back was quite physical and a great blocker in pass protection as well. Portis has not lost his sense of humor.

He jokingly expressed, "I would love to say he reminds me of me, but I was 5'11" 194, when I came out (of college to the NFL). " Interestingly enough, Portis was correct that he measured 5'11," but he has forgotten that he actually weighed in at the NFL Combine at not 194, but 204. Portis also ran the 40-yard dash in 4.

42 seconds. So, how about Love's numbers at the 2026 Combine? Love measured at 6'0," 212 pounds and ran the 40 in a blazing 4.
