Now that the college football season is officially over, it's time for Notre Dame fans to turn their attention to the NFL Draft. To that end, it's Mock Draft season, and Jeremiyah Love is the one who is drawing the most attention early and often.

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah became the latest analyst to release his official Mock Draft, and he's got the Notre Dame running back going in the top 10 to a team that could feature a very attractive team up with a young quarterback.

According to the analyst, the Notre Dame running back's most likely landing spot this spring will be with the New Orleans Saints with the No. 8 pick. Among other reasons why that would be a positive is that he could come in and immediately become the team's featured back.

I love -- no pun intended -- the idea of pairing Tyler Shough with the most electric playmaker in the draft," Jeremiah wrote about the man who spells his name just a little differently.

If there is a bit of bad news for the Irish in this particular Mock Draft, it's that the analyst believes ND will only have one first-round pick. That's not entirely out of the question, but there was some hope that Jeremiyah Love's backfield mate, Jadarian Price, would go on the first day as well, though much later in the draft than the Top 10.

Even if Love is the only first round pick, there's plenty of excitement surrounding Notre Dame and the 2026 NFL Draft later this spring.
