Jeremiyah Love drafted by the Cardinals: How he fits, fantasy outlook
Jeremiyah Love was drafted by the Cardinals in the 2026 NFL Draft. Here's where the Notre Dame RB lands on the depth chart and how he fits in Arizona.
In the 2026 NFL Draft, running backs matter – at least when it comes to Jeremiyah Love anyway. The Notre Dame star was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
It was a quick night for the former Fighting Irish running back, who barely had enough time to get comfortable in the green room before taking the stage. Love figures to be one of those "can't miss" prospects who should have no trouble starring at the next level. Considered to be arguably the best player in the entire draft, there was plenty of debate surrounding the positional value problem that drafting a running back represents.
The Cardinals will now have to pay almost top dollar at the position for the rookie, thanks to the nature of slotted contracts in the NFL draft. Love's slotted contract is set to pay him $50. 5 million fully guaranteed.
It is the most guaranteed money given to a running back in the league, according to OverTheCap . Of course, Arizona was willing to overlook that in exchange for a player that is a true three-down back with no shortage of skills to showcase. Here's what to know about where Love lands on the team's depth chart and his overall fit with the Cardinals.
