The Seahawks Are Eyeing Notre Dame's Star RB and It Could Change Everything
Here's what we're hearing from the draft world: Seattle is sniffing around Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and there's genuine buzz that the Seahawks could pull the trigger on him come draft day. This isn't just random chatter either. Love has been making the rounds with teams, and the Emerald City is apparently on his interview circuit.
What Love Brings to the Table
Love is getting serious looks from multiple franchises right now, including ours. The fact that he's already had pro days and team visits tells you that scouts across the league see something special. With Sam Darnold locked in at QB and our receiving core of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp, the question becomes: does Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury's offense need a dynamic back to really take off?
Why This Makes Sense for Seattle
Think about what the Seahawks have built so far this offseason. We just made Smith-Njigba the highest-paid wide receiver in the league with a massive four-year, $168.6 million contract extension. That's a statement about who we want to build around. But adding a playmaking running back? That could complete the puzzle for our offense. Love's tape shows the kind of versatility that modern offenses crave, and pairing him with our weapons could make Darnold's job a whole lot easier.
The Draft Clock Is Ticking
We're still in the thick of the offseason, and teams are making their final evaluations before the draft rolls around. Love continues to interview with franchises, and every conversation matters. The mock drafts are already circulating, and if Seattle decides to go all in on adding him, it would signal that Macdonald's vision for this offense is serious about competing right now.
Keep an eye on this one, 12s. The combine, pro days, and team visits will tell us a lot about where Seahawks brass stands on Love and whether he fits their draft plans.
