- Jeremiyah Love led all of college football with 35 rushing touchdowns and 40 scrimmage touchdowns across the 2024 and 2025 seasons, and captured the 2025 Doak Walker Award as the nation’s best running back.
- Jeremiyah Love increased his rushing production to 114.3 yards per game in 2025, up from 70.3 yards per game in 2024, a jump of 44 yards per game.
- CBS Sports ranks Love as the 16th‑best overall prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft, though the author argues he merits a higher placement.
- Tennessee Titans hold the No. 4 overall pick and could select Love to pair with veteran Tony Pollard and quarterback Cam Ward.
- Washington Commanders own the No. 7 pick and could target Love to diversify the offense away from quarterback Jayden Daniels.
- Los Angeles Rams have the No. 13 pick (via Atlanta) and could use Love to trade away Kyren Williams and free cap space.
- Baltimore Ravens hold the No. 14 pick and could draft Love to prepare for Derrick Henry’s eventual decline and protect Lamar Jackson.
Why it matters: Teams that secure Love would add a proven high‑scoring back, reshaping offensive schemes and potentially reducing reliance on current starters; Love would lock in a top‑10 draft slot, boosting his contract prospects while reshuffling existing running‑back hierarchies. The addition could also free cap space for the Titans, Commanders, Rams, and Ravens as they retool their rosters.
