During the Notre Dame Pro Day earlier this week, Jeremiyah Love laid out how he wants to burst on the scene and be one of the best to ever do it.
“I want to be one of the best of all time. I want to be a Hall of Famer. I want to be a Pro Bowler in my very first year. I want to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.”
However, it is not just pipe dreams as he understands there is a process to go through in order to reach the major goals he has.
“I tell them all these goals that I have. Obviously, these are goals. Goals are goals, but you’ve got to have a process for how you want to achieve those things. I’ll go every season and set out little goals, like per week, what I can do to make sure I’m reaching the bigger goal that I have. I’ve told all these teams this. It’s a lot of big talk, but I have a process and I have a plan for how I’m gonna get there.”
Love finished last season with 199 rushing attempts for 1,372 yards (6.9 yards per carry) with 21 rushing touchdowns while adding 27 catches for 280 yards (10.4 yards per reception) with three receiving touchdowns. It will be interesting to see how Jeremiyah Love adapts to the NFL.
