summary
summary
Jeremiyah Love boasts a dynamic blend of size, speed, vision, and versatility. His track speed and college stat line make him one of the most explosive playmakers in his position. Love profiles as a potential three-down back with serious home-run upside.
Critical Factors
Vision
Very good. Shows patience pressing the line of scrimmage and understands how to manipulate linebackers. Identifies cutback lanes quickly and rarely runs into dead ends.
Contact Balance
Excellent. Runs through arm tackles and maintains balance through first contact. Consistently falls forward and finishes runs.
Passing Game Impact
Above average. Effective checkdown option with YAC ability; not a volume route runner but dangerous in space.
Strengths
Explosive runner with home-run speed
Excellent contact balance and finishing ability
Quick processor with strong vision
Dangerous in space as a receiver
Plays with confidence and competitive edge
Positional Factors
Play Speed
Very good. Plays faster than his timed speed due to decisiveness and acceleration.
Elusiveness
High-level. Sudden feet, lateral quickness, and creativity allow him to make defenders miss in tight spaces.
Power
Good. Compact build generates force on contact, though not a pure bruiser.
Weaknesses
Pass protection technique is inconsistent
Not a true power back between the tackles
Route tree in passing game is still limited
Playmaker Traits
Playmaker
Yes. Home-run potential anytime he clears the first level.
Catching Skill
Reliable hands. Comfortable catching on the move and transitioning quickly into a runner.
Pass Pro
Developing. Willing and competitive, but technique and anchor strength still need refinement
Run Game
Best trait. Love excels at attacking leverage, making defenders miss at the second level, and finishing runs with balance and toughness. Capable of thriving in both zone and gap concepts.
Intangibles / Value
Ball Security
Very good. Protects the football well with disciplined carriage.
Toughness
High. Runs with edge, absorbs contact, and plays with confidence.
ST Value
Some value early in career (kick return / coverage), though offensive role will limit usage long-term.
Pass Game
Valuable outlet receiver with YAC juice. Can be featured on screens, swings, and checkdowns, though not yet a polished route runner.
