Cardinals Draft Jeremiyah Love High

Cardinals Draft Jeremiyah Love High

Jeremiyah Love’s selection at number three marks a significant departure from the recent trend of devaluing running backs in the first round.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur praised Love as the 'best offensive playmaker' available, citing his versatility and SEC-tested performance.

Love has reportedly signed a rookie deal worth $50 million, making him one of the highest-paid players at his position immediately.

The pick was a surprise to many who expected Arizona to trade down or select a defensive standout.
