Overview
- Love recorded an official 4.36-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot, 212 pounds, a mark that outpaced Saquon Barkley’s combine time and matched Jahmyr Gibbs at a heavier weight.
- Next Gen Stats assigned Love a 94 overall draft score, tied with Sonny Styles for the best in the 2026 class and the top among running backs with a 90-plus production score in the past decade.
- Interest is building across the league, with Love confirming combine meetings with the Chiefs and Rams, while a report relaying Matthew Berry’s intel says some in the Titans’ building view him as the draft’s best player.
- Evaluators highlighted his explosive acceleration and receiving work in drills, reinforcing a projection as a three-down back, though Love said he hoped to run in the 4.2s.
- Media assessments now position him as the leading running back and a potential top-10 selection, with teams’ plans likely to be shaped by upcoming pro days and March free agency.
