at 12 noon. I was a little bit off on that. But that gives me some time to respond to a lot

of the Jeremiah love conversation from the last couple of days. Yesterday on the show, I pointed out

that if you're looking for some knits to pick about Jeremiah love, one thing has been true

against the better defensive teams. He has not played very well, has not generated, you know,

anywhere near what he's generated against some of the horrendous, I mean horrendous defensive

teams he's faced. Now, many of you pointed out and I did mention this. It's not like I ignored

the fact that at the end of 2024, especially in the championship game against Ohio State,

he was hurt, you know, he was playing with that banged up knee and he played like a warrior in

some of those games. I get it. But the bottom line is, you know, even, you know, against

Georgian Penn State when he wasn't 100% the results weren't very good, but forget 2024 and go to

just last year. The two teams on the schedule that were good defensive teams, very good defensive

teams. He faced in the first two games of the year. Miami, they lost to Labor Day weekend,

great game, 27 to 24, and then they lost that unbelievable game in which they missed an extra point

to lose at home in South Bend in week two to Texas A&M 41 to 40. Against the canes who had the

12th ranked defense in the country, we know how good they were defensively. They were the number

six rush defense in the country, 10 carries, 33 yards, four catches, 26 yards, no touchdowns,

and a loss. Texas A&M 23 carries 94 yards, you know, not a bad day, 4.1 yards per carry,

but hardly what he did the rest of the year. A lot of the massive days he had in the super high

average yards per carry games came against bad defensive teams. It's just a fact.

His best game of the year, 24 carries 228 yards and a touchdown against SC. SC was not a good

defensive team this year, but how about this against Boston College BC ranked 128th defensively

out of 136 teams, 17 for 136, eight yards per carry. Syracuse was the number 126 defense

out of 136 division one teams. That was the day in which just he had one big long run after another.

Eight carries for 171 yards. He averaged 21.4 yards per carry, but Syracuse was horrible

defensively. As was Arkansas, when he met Arkansas on week four, only 14 for 50-70 did have five

catches for 70 and had four touchdowns in the game. Purdue was terrible defensively, 19 for 157.

They had a schedule really just with bad defensive teams on their schedule after the first two games

of the year in which he went for 33 carries for 127 yards or 3.6 yards per carry.

I like Jeremiah Love. I like him as a player. I promise you, I like him as a player. Like him as a

prospect. I just don't like him at number seven. That's all. We just have a difference of opinion.

I want my top 10 running backs selection to be a guy that I think is going to be an absolute superstar.

B. John Robinson, Christian McCaffrey. I got this from Jim T. Jim T writes, last year Damian

Martinez and this year Jeremiah Love, you've lost your touch on running backs, Kev. I've been

following your running back calls going back to Devon Singletary, Chase Brown, Tyler Algier,

and you really liked the Super Bowl MVP this year Walker, but you've lost your fastball because

I can't come up with any reason. You're so down on love. I got this from N.D. 85. Can't believe how

wrong you're going to be about Jeremiah Love. He's the best player in the draft according to

Kuiper and others. Not sure why you're such a non-believer. I'm not a non-believer. I haven't,

you know, said that I'm down on Jeremiah Love. I actually think he's going to be a really good

back. My comp has been Josh Jacobs with better speed. That's a really good NFL back. And yes,

give me him. Give me Josh Jacobs with better breakaway speed. I'll take that because it's better

than anything else in the locker room right now or in the, you know, in the running back room. I

think it is. I'm pretty sure it is. So I'd love to have it. And if they end up taking him,

I'm going to be excited that they've got a weapon like him in the back field. I just personally

wouldn't take him at number seven. For that position, I want the rookie contract that I'm going to

pay out to be leverageable. And those positions are, you know, as we know, quarterback,

edge rusher, receiver, left tackle, not running back. There'd be no real benefit of having Jeremiah

Love on a rookie deal. Now, that's not why I would turn away from him. It's not the player,

though. It is more about the, you know, placement. And yes, from a player standpoint, I don't believe

that in watching him as a college player, it's all we've been able to do. I don't believe that

I've been watching Christian McCaffrey or Bijan Robinson. Those are the players that I would take

at, you know, number seven or really just top half of the first round. You know, I wouldn't even put,

I don't know, Gibbs is close, man. Jonathan Taylor is even at times close. Derek Henry, I mean,

not now, obviously, players that have been able to carry their teams, literally carry their

offensive football teams. This episode is brought to you by Progressive. Most of you aren't just

by the way, even when they do, that position isn't the difference maker Super Bowl or no Super Bowl.

Bijon hasn't been to a playoff. Hasn't played in a playoff game yet. And, you know, McCaffrey,

they haven't won the Super Bowl, but he's been a big part of those seasons in which they've

gotten to a Super Bowl. Sekwan Barkley was certainly a reason that Philadelphia got to and won

the Super Bowl, but let's be honest, their defense was the number one story for them during the

postseason. You know, in their wins over Green Bay, the Rams, Washington, and then Kansas City.

I, if it's my team, you've got to be in the superstar elite projected class for me to pick you

in the top 10 to top 15 at that position. And I don't see Jeremiah love that way. I see him as

an excellent prospect. I think he's going to be a very good NFL running back, but not elite enough

to take that high. That's all. Food for thought. On, you know, also some of the things that I'm sure

you've read, but we haven't emphasized just about the 2025 season. And I appreciate all of the

feedback on you didn't mention about him and his knee. I did mention about him and his knee in the

championship game against Ohio State. I did. I just said that, you know, banged up or not. He did

play against, you know, Indiana played great against Indiana, Georgia, and then Penn State before

Ohio State, but really just look at this year, which was, you know, look, Jadarian price had

better games against Miami and Texas A&M than Jeremiah loved it statistically. And price is

going to get picked night two on this draft. He might be the second running back selected. And

again, like the position overall, you historically, you've been able to find guys night two day three

that have been excellent backs. And the guys that have been worth taking that high, the b-jans,

the sake ones, you know, in recent years, the McAfrie's Gibbs was picked outside of the top 10.

Right, Max? Wasn't he picked at 12?

Gibbs was not a top 10 pick. B-john was, sake one was, McAfrie was. Aren't those the only running

backs recently that have been drafted in the top 10? Or am I missing one? He was, yeah,

Gibbs was 12. So you got it. Oh, Ashen Gentie. Oh, yeah, of course.

It's too early on him. Yeah. Yeah. In the top 10, we had B-john at 8, Gibbs was 12. So I was

right about that. And we had, and then before that, you got to go back to, you got to go back to

2018, Barclay at number two overall. I mean, picking a running back that high, the year before it

was 4 net at 4 in McAfrie at 8. So the two superstar backs that I would say, if he's not B-john

Robinson or Christian McAfrie, sorry, not worth top half of the first round, certainly not worth top 10.

I don't see him that way. I just see him as really, really good. And there's nothing wrong with

really, really good. But you know what? And I know that the draft is thin for us in terms of

picks, but it's 71 in the third round. You really need a running back. You might get a, get a

quenchon, Judkins from last year. He looked really good as a running back. Was he third round?

Or the kid from Virginia Tech, the place for Jacksonville, Tutan, you know, Cam Skataboo was

fourth round. Trevor Etienne, who looked good. Woody Marx looked good. He was fourth round.

Who else was drafted last year? Late. Yeah, my guy has not worked out. True.

They got your Corey Kroski merit in the seventh round. Yeah, Damien Martinez bounced around. I think

he got signed to a practice squad and then cut from the practice squad. I have no idea what'll

happen. Him and look, a lot of those times, a lot of times it's not the player. It's not the prospect.

It's all the intangible stuff that we don't know about. But I mean, Bucky Irving was selected

in the fourth round. Star. I mean, star in the making, for sure. It's just a position that I

just would not pick that high with that particular player. When we come back, want to talk about

the Ohio State pro day? Carnell Tate decided not to try to improve that disappointing 40 time in

Indy, more on that next. This episode is brought to you by Progressive. Most of you aren't just
