Jeremiyah Love, No. 3 Overall Pick, Said He Has NO Personal Goals, And The NFC West Is ALREADY On Notice

Alright, Seattle, listen up! You know how we always talk about the 12s bringing the noise, the team-first mentality that fuels our Seahawks? Well, there's a rookie in the NFC West who just dropped a bombshell quote that sounds like he's already bought into that philosophy. We're talking about Jeremiyah Love, the guy the Cardinals snagged with the No. 3 overall pick, and he's not even worried about personal glory. He's talking pure, unadulterated team ball.

Love's College Dominance Is No Secret

Let's be real, this kid is a certified monster. For the past two seasons at Notre Dame, Jeremiyah Love wasn't just good, he was *the best*. He led the entire nation in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and overall touchdowns. Yeah, you read that right, NATION-LEADING in all three. In 2025, he wasn't just a standout, he won the Doak Walker Award as the country’s best running back and was a Heisman Trophy semifinalist. The dude's an All-American from 2025, too.

As long as you do your part on the team, usually you’ll get the personal accolades and the personal goals that you have in your mind. So, in my mind, my goal for myself is to jell really well with this team and do whatever coach [Mike] LaFleur wants me to do, and do it to the best of my ability.” This is the kind of mindset that makes a player dangerous. He’s already the favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, ahead of guys like Fernando Mendoza and Carnell Tate, and he's not even sweating it. That's a rare kind of focus, and it means he's probably going to be a problem. So, while we're all fired up about Jaxon Smith-Njigba making plays, Rashid Shaheed stretching the field, and Cooper Kupp getting ready for a huge season with Sam Darnold, we need to keep an eye on what's brewing down south. This Love kid is bringing a serious talent and an even more serious, team-first mentality to our division. Get ready for some battles, Emerald City, because the NFC West just got another top-tier talent who plays for the squad first.
