0:00It's April 26th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Jeremiah Love, the running back taken third overall by Arizona, leads the pack as the early favorite for offensive rookie of the year. Sports moves have him at plus 200 to plus 300 odds, topping even the number one pick, quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who's sitting at, plus 300 to plus 400 with the Raiders. Running backs like Love often hit the ground running from college to the pros, and he lands on a competitive cardinal squad, ready to feed him the ball right away. Mendoza's got Tom Brady mentoring him, but the Raiders' weak supporting cast means a tougher road ahead. Why receivers Carnell Tate drafted fourth to Tennessee and Jordan Tyson, eighth to New Orleans, follow close behind at a round plus 400 to plus 500. Tate pairs with young quarterback Cam Ward under new coordinator Brian Dable, who could unlock some big plays while Tyson fights for targets behind.

Love speed versus Mendoza's story could define the race all season.
