Detroit Lions Draft Prospect Injury Analysis: Jeremiyah Love, RB - Notre Dame

· Yahoo Sports

Could the Lions select an elite RB in the draft, even though they already have an elite, healthy one in Jahmyr Gibbs? Given the importance of the running game to the entire team, it's not out of the question. Jeremiyah Love is projected to go within the top ten picks, but if he falls due to positional value reasons, the Lions might jump.

Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Jeremiyah Love:

Jeremiyah Love, RB (21) - Notre Dame

Projected early round 1. #2 on Daniel Jeremiah board March 5. Ran 4.36 40-yard dash at combine. Measured 6’ 0”, 212 lb.

Concern level 1/10

Love displayed perfect availability in his three years of college. The recent, possible rib injury is of no concern. The knee from 2024 is worth investigation though. Hopefully (and most likely), it’s just a simple ligament sprain and not a cartilage issue.

At the combine, the only athletic testing Love did was the 40, but that sub-4.4 time cemented him as an elite prospect. His young age is also a huge positive, especially at the RB position.

Love finished his career with 433 carries for 2882 yards with a whopping 6.7 Y/A. His young age, low medical concern level, and elite athleticism should all be tempting for the Lions if he somehow falls to #17.
