Notre Dame star running back Jeremiah Love declared for the NFL Draft last night, a move that was expected but, you know, still, I don't wanna say hurts, but for a lot of Notre Dame fans out there, knowing that the best running back in Notre Dame history, at least in my lifetime, watching them declare for the NFL Draft is always bittersweet.
You want them to stay, but you understand the decision.
Now, the next question is, where does Jeremiah Love go from here?
And there's a lot of different talking points around what this may look like.
What we do know for sure is that Jeremiah Love is ending his career as the most-- one of the most prolific running backs in Notre Dame history.
This past season, he rushed for one thousand three hundred and seventy-two yards, eighteen rushing touchdowns.
he also had three receiving touchdowns to go along with it, one thousand six hundred and fifty-two total yards of offense.
I mean, he is an absolutely exceptional running back.
He finished with at least a hundred yards in eleven different games over the last two seasons.
He's had at least twenty carries, twenty yards on carries eleven times.
I mean, it's, it's absolutely fantastic what he's done.
So begs the question, where does Jeremiah Love go from here?
Well, a lot of the NFL Draft analysts are absolutely raving about Jeremiah Love.
Mel Kiper on his big board has Jeremiah Love as the number three overall prospect, only behind safety Caleb Downs, from Ohio State and linebacker Arvel Reese from Ohio State.
Jordan Reid also, excuse me, those were Jordan Reid's rankings.
Mel Kiper only has Jeremiah Love behind quarterback Fernando Mendoza and quarterback Dante Moore of Oregon.
There's a lot of different places where Love is being projected to go.
one outlet has him going number eleventh overall to the Minnesota Vikings.
Be a good fit inside of Kevin O'Connell's offense.
Another outlet could see him playing for the New York Giants.
They see him being a good fit there.
My best player comp for him that's currently in the NFL right now is Bijan Robinson, a player that's almost impossible to tackle in the open field and can make impact plays in the pass game and in the run game.
Wherever Jeremiah Love goes, that NFL organization is getting one heck of a running back, that is for sure.
