Jeremiyah Love Scouting Report
Jeremiyah Love is an electric back who uses speed and acceleration to capitalize on small creases and convert them into explosive plays on the ground.
Draft Grade: Round 1 - Pro Bowl Caliber
Strengths:
Explosive:When given a crease, Love can reach top speed quickly, allowing him to pick up chunks of yards.
Versatile:Love can align in the backfield but also be put into the slot to run routes. Love can also be put into motion and receive jet sweep handoffs.
Contact Balance:Love does a good job of absorbing initial contact from defenders while remaining on his feet and continuing to pick up yards. He runs with good balance and the ability to keep his feet pumping through contact.
Pass Catching: Love has shown to be a good receiving option both lined up at the traditional running back position but also as a receiver. Love is a natural hands-catcher.
Concerns:
Overall Size: Love has a lean frame. When it comes to being a three-down back every week in the NFL, some teams may feel that is too heavy a workload and opt to have another back as part of a rotation.
Pass Protection:Love’s pass protection needs to improve both from a willingness and a technique standpoint.
