Cardinals' Draft Pick: Jeremiyah Love?

0:00It's April 23rd. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. The Arizona Cardinals sit pretty at number 3 in the upcoming NFL draft, with the Raiders grabbing Fernando Mendoza first and the Jets eyeing in Ed rusher second. That puts the cards in prime position to snag Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love if they stay put. Earlier this week, insiders hinted the team might not trade down, making love a top choice. He's got that burst the offense craves, especially with Jacobi Preset back under center, and new offensive coordinator Mike LaFlor are dialing up the plays. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the fit, but there's more to it off the field. Word is, the general manager wants job security, the owner needs to boost ticket sales, and the coach loves a dynamic runner to elevate the ground. Game right away. Love balled out in college last year, rushing for 1,372 yards on 199 carries with 18. Touchdowns, even landing as a Heisman finalist.
