NFC West's Run Game Revolution

0:00On April 24th, history was made in the 2026 NFL Draft when Notre Dame running backs Jeremiah Love and Judarian Price became the first. Top two rushers ever picked from the same college program. Love went third overall to the Arizona Cardinals, while Price landed with the Seattle Seahawks at the 32nd spot to close out Round 1. This duo joins a growing NFC West of Session with elite running backs. The Seahawks jumped on Price right after losing Kenneth Walker in free agency, seeing him as the perfect fit to plug that gap. Cardinals, meanwhile, grabbed the explosive love to boost their ground attack. For the Los Angeles Rams, this spells trouble twice a year against divisional foes. Their run defense already got a taste from their own Notre Dame alum, Karen Williams, drafted back in Round 5 of the 2022 draft, who's been shredding fields ever since. Price brings smooth hips, elite vision, and a knack for the in zone, making him a polished threat despite no pro yards yet.

1:00Rams coordinator Chris Shula, bounced back last year by stuffing Saquon Barkley after early struggles, so they might have the blueprint. NFC West teams are reviving the run game heavy, with only the 49ers sitting it out so far. Rams GM, less need, better load up on defensive help this weekend to keep their stop units standing tall.
