NFL Draft Top Ten Running Backs: #1 Jeremiyah Love
For the 2nd consecutive year, @BryanOrenchuk brings us his Top 10 RBs in the ‘26 NFL draft. Next up, no surprise here, No. 1, Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame.
Continuing this series , where I highlight my top ten favorite running backs from the upcoming NFL draft class, the current or former pro they remind me of most, and whether I see them as a fit for Ben Johnson’s offense this season for the Chicago Bears . Remember, these are NOT fantasy rankings or even who I think will get drafted in order, but simply my top backs based on tape, measurables, production, and my own personal taste. #1: Jeremiyah Love – Notre Dame – SPEED To say I am excited about Jeremiyah Love or that he has been a fun study would be a massive understatement.
For someone who appreciates running backs and the different styles we have seen over the years, the way I do, Love has presented as much of a challenge as he has been a joy to articulate. His speed flashes immediately on film as evidenced by him averaging one run of 40+ yards for every 21 rush attempts on top of his incredibly impressive 6. 9 average yards per carry in each of the last two seasons.
Need more fire power? How about the fact he also rushed for over 90 yards on a single carry in each of the last two seasons as well. This dude is pure dynamite.
Jeremiyah Love over the last two seasons at Notre Dame, per TruMedia: 💨 3,014 scrimmage yards 💨 40 total touchdowns 💨 4. 5 yards after contact per rush 💨 +0. 43 EPA per play 💨 49 explosive runs (12+ yards) 💨 89.
