Jeremiyah Love has entered the elite running back conversation ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. He is frequently mentioned alongside Bijan Robinson and Ashton Jeanty because of his upside and high ceiling. But where does he rank in the three-man RB conversation?
Jeremiyah Love Is Chasing Bijan Robinson and Ashton Jeanty
On the latest episode of PFSN’s Football Debate Club, Cam Mellor posed the question: How do Bijan Robinson, Ashton Jeanty, and Jeremiyah Love rank as draft prospects coming out?
“I think Jeanty was a little bit more consistent in terms of his vision and contact balance,” PFSN Analyst Jacob Infante said. “Love, I think, has a little bit more breakaway speed than Jeanty, but I think that Jeanty’s power and vision are both superior.”
“So, that’s the reason I have it in that order,” Infante added. “They’re all really good. It’s different flavors of ice cream, but Bijan’s the top of that bunch for me.”
That order speaks to how evaluators separate elite from generational. Robinson sits at the top as the prototype, and his 2022 tape remains the gold standard for a modern NFL running back.
He possesses lateral agility, contact balance, and receiving upside. Robinson finished the 2023 season as the 23rd-ranked RB on PFSN’s NFL RB Impact Metric.
Jeanty brings a completely different kind of dominance. His 2024 collegiate season was historic. He displayed relentless physicality and elite contact balance out of the backfield.
With a low center of gravity and tackle-breaking ability that borders on the absurd, Jeanty consistently turned minimal gains into explosive plays. He finished the 2025 season, his rookie year, as the 37th-ranked RB.
Then comes Love, the most efficient of the trio. While he did not carry the same volume, his 2025 production stands out for its explosiveness.

Averaging 6.9 yards per carry, Love showcased a rare ability to maximize every touch. His one-cut running style, combined with breakaway speed and strong yards-after-contact numbers, makes him a dangerous fit in modern offensive systems.
Given how Robinson and Jeanty performed in their first years, he simply needs to translate his college production to the professional stage with little more oomph.
