The NFL Draft can be tough to predict, but experts, prognosticators and fans alike all seem to agree that Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love will be the first running back to hear his name called this year.

It's a fairly weak draft for running backs, at least in the early rounds, but Love won't be the first off the board by default. He lit up opposing defenses in his final season with the Fighting Irish and showed skills that can translate to stardom in the NFL in the process. Ashton Jeanty proved in his rookie season that situation still matters, even for talented running backs.

Love will hope to land with a team that will put him in a position to succeed from day one, but that isn't always the reality with so many struggling teams picking near the top of the draft. Here's where the experts are projecting Love to land in the 2026 NFL Draft.
