Jeremiyah Love goes to Cardinals

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur praised Love as the best offensive playmaker on the board, securing him with a $50 million rookie deal.

The pick is seen as a significant pushback against the trend of devaluing running backs in the early rounds.

Love's versatility and SEC-tested performance made him a top target for the rebuilding franchise.

His arrival is expected to immediately impact the Cardinals' offensive dynamic as they look to improve on a disappointing 2025 season.
