NFL draft pundit has strong thoughts on Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love
One ESPN analyst thinks Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love shouldn't go too high in the 2026 NFL Draft.
At least one NFL draft analyst isn't high on Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back Jeremiyah Love. Love was among the best ball carriers in the country in 2024 and 2025, but Jordan Rodgers was on ESPN's Get Up this morning and said that Love should not go as high as number three in the draft, because "he's not a generational player. " Some pundits have projected that Love will go to the Arizona Cardinals with the number three pick in the draft.
Your author is not enough of a draftnik to have a strong opinion on where Love should go, or whether he is generational or not, but he has seen almost every down Love has played for two seasons and can confirm he should be a first-round draft pick. Only time will tell if Rodgers is right -- and we'll see where Love ends up later tonight. "Under no circumstance can you take Jeremiyah Love number three.
... He's not a generational player. " @JRodgers11 doesn't believe Jeremiyah Love should go high in the draft š pic.
