The Arizona Cardinals, currently at 2-5, selected running back Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Love has participated in five games, recording 67 carries for 245 yards and two total touchdowns, but has missed time due to a high ankle sprain. Analysts question the wisdom of picking a running back when the team has pressing needs on the offensive line and elsewhere. Love ranks last among running backs in tackle avoidance but has demonstrated promise. The Cardinals are tasked with improving their overall roster as they move forward this season.
