Jeremiyah Love drafted No. 3 by Cardinals

Arizona's decision to take Love so early surprised some analysts who expected the team to prioritize other positions.

However, coach Mike LaFleur emphasized that Love is a 'generational playmaker' who will be the centerpiece of the Cardinals' rebuilding offense.

The rookie has signed a four-year deal worth approximately $50 million, making him one of the highest-paid players at his position.

Love's versatility as both a runner and a receiver is expected to provide an immediate boost to a team looking to escape the bottom of the NFC West.
