Former Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is poised to be one of the first players drafted when the first round of the 2026 NFL draft kicks off on April 23.
Following his incredibly successful college football career, Love has been mocked to seemingly every NFL team in the top 10 of the draft not named the Las Vegas Raiders, who will likely draft quarterback Fernando Mendoza. While many mocked him to the Kansas City Chiefs at No. 9 several weeks ago, he seems to be going higher with each passing day.
This week, ESPN’s Matt Miller predicted the star running back would land with a disappointing AFC team inside the top five.

Miller has the Tennessee Titans taking the former Fighting Irish star with the No. 4 pick in the draft.
“Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are solid running backs but not the game-changing options needed to support second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Love is a rare RB prospect with home run speed, as shown by his multiple touchdown runs of more than 90 yards, and he has finishing power at 214 pounds,” Miller said.
“He’s also a seasoned route runner and proven pass catcher with 63 career grabs for six scores. The Titans checked enough boxes in free agency and by trading for Jermaine Johnson to make a luxury pick here. Love has the tools to be one of the NFL’s best running backs very quickly,” he added.
Love finished third in Heisman Trophy voting after racking up 1,372 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground while adding 280 yards and three touchdowns on 27 receptions during his final collegiate season.
