Saints' Draft Interest in Love: Homework or Surprise?

0:00On March 25, Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love caught the New Orleans Saints' eye early in the draft process as a potential boost to their backfield. The team signed Travis Etienne to a big contract and Love's stock has climbed since, with recent buzz linking him more to the Tennessee Titans. Still, Saints' offensive coordinator, Doug Nussmeyer, showed up in Notre Dame's pro-day and chatted with Love there. That meeting has sparked some talk about whether New Orleans might still pursue him, especially at their number aid pick. Love brings a big play explosive style and strong receiving skills, which differ from Etienne's patient all around game, pairing them could create a dynamic duel if Alvin Kamara departs or retires. Fans and analysts see it as the Saints doing their homework on every option. With Kamara's future uncertain, adding speed like Love's makes sense in theory to fill any gap. But the team faces bigger holes elsewhere on the roster. Top-draft talent runs deep at those key spots, so positional needs will likely drive their choice over flashy additions.
