NFL Draft: Love's Speed Shakes Up Top Picks

0:00On April 3rd, NFL Draft guru Todd McShay is buzzing about Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love landing high in this year's picks. The 20-year-old star torch defenses last season with 1,372 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns, plus 27 catches for 280 yards and three more scores. He's primed to be plug and play offense wherever he goes. Earlier this week, McShay floated the idea of Arizona grabbing him in the top three, which would echo Sequan Barkley's spot back in 2018. The last time a back went that early, fans and analysts are split though. Running backs like Love are flashy luxuries, not must-haves for teams rebuilding like the Cardinals who need help at quarterback, edge, tackle. Corner and wide receiver Waymore, that said McShay notes Arizona might have their eyes on Love anyway, but trading down to stockpile picks makes Waymore sense for them before pulling, trigger, bottom line.

1:00Love's speed and burst could shake up draft night, but expect teams to weigh if he's worth jumping the line on premium needs. Keep it locked for more draft heat. I'm Cory with The Story, and you've been listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage.
