Jeremiyah Love Is Saying "No Personal Goals," and The NFC West Just Got Spicier

Alright, 12s, you gotta hear this. Our NFC West rivals down in Arizona just drafted Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick, a dude who tore up college football, leading the nation in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and overall touchdowns for two straight seasons at Notre Dame. He even snagged the Doak Walker Award in 2025 and was a Heisman Trophy semifinalist. Everyone's already penciling him in for Offensive Rookie of the Year. But get this: Love just came out and said he has **NO personal goals** for his rookie season. What?! Yeah, you read that right.

The "No Personal Goals" Bombshell

This isn't some throwaway comment. Love laid it out clear as day this week. He's saying personal goals "aren't going to get you really where you want to get to." For him, it's "all about the team at the end of the day." He believes if you do your part, those personal accolades just kinda happen. His *only* goal right now? Jell "really well with this team" and do whatever their coach, Mike LaFleur, wants him to do, to the best of his ability. Talk about a curveball from a top pick who's already got the hype train rolling hard. You gotta wonder if he really means it, or if it's just rookie humility.

vorite Who Couldn't Care Less It's kinda wild, right? Love is the hands-down favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, even over guys like Fernando Mendoza and Carnell Tate. But according to him, he's not even thinking about that award. "That’s kind of how I’ve always been," he said. He's "always been the type to..." The quote cuts off there, but the message is crystal clear: the dude seems genuinely focused solely on the team. This kind of mindset could be huge for the Cardinals, but it also means he's probably not feeling the pressure other rookies might be. It makes him a wildcard in our division. So, what does this mean for the Emerald City? Our Hawks are gearing up for a new era with Coach Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold under center, and weapons like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp ready to explode. While Love is talking team-first in Arizona, we're here at Lumen Field focused on building a true contender. This early peek into a rival's top pick, especially one in our division, is definitely something to keep an eye on. As the season gets closer, every move, every quote from our NFC West opponents is something we're tracking. Let's see if Love's "no personal goals" philosophy actually translates to team wins against our boys. Can't wait for that first divisional matchup!
