Detroit Lions Eye Jeremiyah Love for Draft

0:00It's April 1st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Coring with the Story. Detroit Lions got J-Mier Gibbs, their elite running back who's healthy and balling out, but they're still eyeing another stud in the draft. Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame could be that guy, projected as a top 10 pick, maybe even number 2 on some boards. At 6B tall and 212 pounds, he blazed a 4.36 in the 40 yard dash at the combine. If he slips to their spot at 17 because running backs get undervalued, they might pounce. Love put up monster numbers in college. 433 carries for 2882 yards, averaging 6.7 yards per pop. He's just 21 years old heading into the 2026 season, which is prime time for a back with his explosiveness. Injuries? Barely a blip. He played every game the last three years. 12 of 12 in 2025, 16 of 16 in 2024, despite a knee tweak that.

1:02Needed a brace in the playoffs. Docs rate his medical rib flags at just one out of 10 possible ribding last game, but he bounced back quick. That knee from last year deserves a look. Probably a simple ligament sprain, not some nasty cartilage mess. His perfect availability and youth make him a dream for teams building around the run game. Fans know a deep backfield wins championships, so if love falls, expect them to make a move and supercharge that ground attack. Stay tuned for Draft Knight Drama.
