Jeremiyah Love to run 40-yard dash and position drills at the NFL Combine
Notre Dame running back jeremiyah love will run the 40-yard dash and participate in position drills on Saturday at the Scouting Combine, giving him a live stage to back up scouting praise and to show teams he can be a three-down back.
Jeremiyah Love draws Titans' attention at the Combine
Love confirmed he met with the Tennessee Titans at the Combine and spent Friday speaking with media, saying, "I feel like I'd fit in well anywhere. " Titans coach Robert Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi spoke positively about a player with speed and three-down traits, and an analyst named Love the top player in the draft who could be in play for teams picking between 3 and 9.
Combine workout: 40-yard dash and position drills
Love told reporters he would run the 40 and take part in the position drills "just to showcase my skills, " and that he isn't afraid to "just be myself. " Saturday's on-field events will let him display the speed and receiving work that teams covet; earlier in the week he reiterated that he brings "receiving ability, running ability, blocking ability" and can help on special teams.
College resume and how he projects
Over three seasons at Notre Dame, Love ran for 2, 882 yards and 36 touchdowns on 433 carries and caught 63 passes for 594 yards and six touchdowns. In 2025 specifically, he ran for 1, 372 yards and 18 touchdowns and added 27 catches for 280 yards and three scores, finishing the year as a Heisman finalist and winning the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back.
Love calls himself a "three-down back" and emphasized his blocking, saying he has "pretty much dominated everybody just trying to rush me, " a trait he believes is underrated. Analysts have compared his upside to recent elite running back prospects and have suggested he could be a top-ten selection, which would make him one of the few running backs taken that high in recent years.
Saturday's drills give teams a final on-field data point: Love will run the 40-yard dash and run position drills, and he has already finished meetings with at least one NFL front office and coaching staff. That workout will be the next confirmed public step before teams finalize evaluations ahead of the draft.
