Jeremiyah Love: Top-Five Running Back?

0:00It's April 8th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The NFL hasn't picked her running back in the top five since Sequan Barkley went second overall back in 2018. That seven drafts with just two top ten backs, Bijan Robinson and Ashen Junty. Now Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love looks ready to break that streak, especially with a thin class at quarterback, edge and other premium spots. Dave Scream superstar. Dude ran a 4.3640, turning 44 of his 433 carries into 15 plus yard chunk plays. His 6.9 yards per carry tops everyone with 300 plus rushes the last two seasons. Throw in soft hands, big catch radius and slick routes, and he fits perfect for offenses chasing explosive runs against modern defenses. Fans and analysts split hard on this.

And Robinson feasting in space, contract math, hurts too. A top five back deal averages under 9 million a year, but vets like Kenneth Walker costs just 3 million more for proven juice. Plus, backs fade fast. Only 4 hit a thousand yards after 30 the last decade, unlike lineman playing into their mid-30s. Still, Love's traits match the game's shift back to ground pounds. Bottom line. The star is a line for Love to go top five, ending the 8-year drought. His production and scheme fit make him too good to pass up in this draft.
