Fewer prospects than ever are working out at the Scouting Combine this year. Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love won\u2019t be one of those, though.<\/p>\n
The draft\u2019s top running back prospect said Friday that he will run the 40-yard dash and participate in the position drills on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust to showcase my skills,\u2019’ Love said. \u201cI\u2019m not afraid to go out there and just be myself. I feel like I\u2019m very fast. I feel like I\u2019ve got some good moves in my bag, so why not go out there and run the 40, do some position drills.\u2019’<\/p>\n
In three seasons, Love ran for 2,882 yards and 36 touchdowns on 433 carries and caught 63 passes for 594 yards and six touchdowns. <\/p>\n
He is special, with a chance to become only the second running back drafted in the top 10 in eight years. Bijan Robinson went eighth overall to the Falcons in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cI bring receiving ability, running ability, blocking ability, and just overall, I feel like I\u2019m a pretty good player,\u201d Love said. \u201cSo, I can do anything you need me can do. I can do special teams as well. I\u2019m willing to do anything for any team to ask since I want to make sure that I\u2019m giving team my all.\u201d<\/p>\n
He calls himself a \u201cthree-down back,\u201d and he prides himself on his blocking ability.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody\u2019s really beat me in blocking,\u201d Love said. \u201cLike, I pretty much dominated everybody just trying to rush me. I feel like that\u2019s underrated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fewer prospects than ever are working out at the Scouting Combine this year.
