Arizona Cardinals Struck Gold By Drafting Jeremiyah Love

In this episode of Locked On Cardinals, Alex Clancy dives deep into the Arizona Cardinals' bold move of selecting Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. To offer an insider’s perspective on Love’s potential, Tyler Wojciak from the Locked On Irish podcast joins the show to break down everything Cardinals fans need to know about the dynamic running back’s time at Notre Dame and how his game might translate to the NFL. Tyler Wojciak calls Jeremiyah Love the best player he’s ever seen in a Notre Dame uniform, even when stacked against recent legends like Kyle Hamilton and Zack Martin. The discussion focuses on Love’s rare combination of explosiveness, vision, pass-catching ability, and willingness to block and do the dirty work—traits that make him an every-down back. They analyze Notre Dame's approach to workload management, noting how splitting touches with Jadarian Price ensured Jeremiyah entered the league with fresh legs and minimal wear compared to other top running backs. Alex Clancy explores how Love fits into a Cardinals offense searching for balance, given Michael LaFleur's zone scheme and a rebuilt offensive line. They consider whether Love can be a true bell-cow, capable of 25+ touches a game and a bigger factor in the passing game, and compare him not only to elite running backs like Christian McCaffrey but also within the context of Cardinals’ current weapons. They also examine possible weaknesses in Jeremiyah Love’s game—such as his tendency to attempt high-risk highlight plays like hurdling defenders—and how he’s grown out of some early habits. Love’s reputation as a leader and consummate teammate comes to the forefront, backed by on-field examples and anecdotes about his unselfishness and competitive fire. The episode closes with Alex Clancy reflecting on how Jeremiyah Love’s addition could fundamentally shift the Cardinals’ offensive identity, provide a new level of excitement, and what realistic workload expectations should look like during his rookie season.
