Jeremiyah Love has plenty of people excited about what he'll do in the after leaving Notre Dame for the pros. Before he gets there, though, he'll be able to impress plenty of teams and analysts with a preview at the NFL Combine.

The former star running back is already considered one of the best, if not the best, players in the draft. Most analysts expect him to get selected inside the first 10 picks in the 2026 draft. He doesn't need to show off his talents.

While he might not need to do it, Jeremiyah Love is going to show what he can do at the NFL Combine. As Jack Soble of On3 reported, the Notre Dame star is expected to compete in the 40-yard dash. He's also expected to do other positional drills.

Love is slated to do his workouts on Saturday.

It's an interesting decision for the Fighting Irish running back, mainly because it's unlikely he can improve his standing. It's unlikely he could really hurt his draft chances or where he'd go. Even if his 40-time were shockingly slow, most analysts would chalk it up to an off day.

Jeremiyah Love is someone who enjoys showing people he is every bit as good as they think. Notre Dame certainly knows that, fully considering he spent the last two years making eyes pop out of skulls with both long runs and strong runs. He's done it all, and now he's going to show that he can do it at the next level.
