Jeremiyah Love might not have been happy about his NFL Combine performance, but it's clear that everyone else was plenty impressed by the Notre Dame star. In fact, one analyst believes that the running back made teams fall "deeper in love" with him while establishing his 2026 NFL Draft floor.
"While he was going through drills, there was a collective silence that was quickly met with oohs and ahhs as he was going through drills," Jordan Reid told ESPN on Sunday.
"There were teams that fell deeper in love with Jeremiyah Love yesterday ... He solidified himself as a top ten pick." Reid then laid out where he now thought the Notre Dame star would end up.

Jeremiyah Love solidified his top ten floor and left Notre Dame football fans buzzing
"I look at Washington at number seven overall, pairing him with Jaden Daniels. I think that would be a terrific fit. Number eight. New Orleans, I think, is a very ideal fit as well as they build it around Tyler Shough."
"Alvin Kamara is going to be 31 years old and entering the final year of his contract. And then at number nine, the NFL better not let him land in Kansas City with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. I think that would be a terrific fit. So look for Jeremiyah Love to go inside the top ten."
Because of how good the running back is and how many different skills he offers, there are all sorts of teams expected to show some interest. It's hard at the moment to know just where he'll go. There's even been some talk that the Tennessee Titans and the New York Giants could be interested, taking him far earlier than seven or eight.
When Reid was asked whether it was safe to say that Love's floor was No. 9, Kansas City, the analyst answered in the affirmative.
"Yeah, it definitely is feeling that way. And, I mean, it was one of the best workouts that I saw, Randy. He was absolutely terrific. The footwork, just the quick cuts that he was able to do, and then the route running portion— that's another area that I think is really underrated about him and why I believe he's the best player in this year's draft."
The Notre Dame star has managed to improve his stock since the season ended, and Jeremiyah Love has impressed everyone with his NFL Combine showing.
