Cardinals Draft Jeremiyah Love 3rd Overall, Secure RB Star

The Arizona Cardinals selected Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love third overall, reportedly signing him to a $50M deal. Love, a Doak Walker Award winner, led the FBS with 40 TDs in 2025 and averaged 6.9 YPC. Despite some analysts calling the pick a "reach," he is the clear top RB prospect and the new face of the Cardinals' backfield. The team's deliberation before the pick was not due to trade offers, contrary to some speculation.
