Notre Dame's standout running back, Jeremiyah Love, is making it clear: he wants to don the red and gold of the Kansas City Chiefs. After a disappointing 6-11 season in 2025, the Chiefs are facing a pivotal offseason with their running game topping the list of concerns. Whether they choose to address this through the draft or free agency remains to be seen, but Love has thrown his hat into the ring as a potential solution.
Love, reflecting on his connection to the Chiefs, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "Joining that system would mean a lot. My former running back coach at Notre Dame, Deland McCullough, who won a Super Bowl with them, is there. It would be amazing to play under such a great coaching staff."
With a college career that boasts 433 carries for 2,882 yards and 36 touchdowns, Love has shown he's a force on the field. NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah even projects him to be a top-10 pick, potentially landing with the Chiefs, which would give Patrick Mahomes a dynamic new weapon.
But the Chiefs have options. As they navigate free agency, names like Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne Jr., and Tyler Allgeier have surfaced as potential targets.
The Chiefs were also reportedly close to acquiring Breece Hall from the Jets before talks stalled over draft pick negotiations. The Chiefs believed they might still attract Hall if he hits free agency.
As Kansas City looks to bounce back, they have decisions to make. Whether they draft Love or pursue free agents, the Chiefs are poised for a crucial offseason. Meanwhile, Love might find himself with other suitors, including the New York Giants, who could also be in the mix.
