The Tennessee Titans are seriously considering Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Love's electrifying 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the combine has vaulted him into top-five consideration, with ESPN ranking him as the consensus No. 2 prospect. Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi praised Love's three-down abilities, comparing him to Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs.

Love's versatility sets him apart, as he stayed after running back drills to participate in wide receiver workouts. At 6-foot, 212 pounds, he's slightly bigger than Gibbs and posted 39 runs of 10-plus yards last season, fourth most among FBS running backs. Draft analysts Jordan Reid and Matt Miller list Love as their No. 1 prospect, comparing his smooth style to Buffalo's James Cook III.

If selected at No. 4, Love would become the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley in 2018. The Titans' current backfield includes Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Kalel Mullings, but questions loom about their futures. Pollard, entering his final contract year at age 29, carries a $9.25 million cap hit. With running backs re-emerging as significant offensive weapons, Love could provide the dynamic playmaking ability the Titans need to support second-year quarterback Cam Ward.
