Giants possible draft target Jeremiyah Love garners impressive comparisons.
In less than a month, the New York Giants will be on the clock with the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft. As the front office continues its due diligence, one name on their board garnered some high praise.
During an appearance on the ‘Schein Time’ show, NFL analyst Greg Cosell gave his thoughts on running back prospect Jeremiyah Love. He is very high on the Notre Dame standout, comparing his style of play to the likes of Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs.
“I got the same bromance with Love that you have,” Cosell told Adam Schein. “The more I watched him, the more I thought of Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. Almost like a combo platter.”

Love is someone the Giants zeroed in on early, as they’ve already had a sit-down meeting with the dynamic running back. There seems to be a mutual respect, as he had good things to say about the Giants organization during Notre Dame’s Pro Day earlier this month.
Currently projected to come off the board in the back half of the top ten, New York might have an opportunity to add the promising backfield threat to their strong core of young talent.
Giants Coach Makes His Feelings Clear on Jeremiyah Love
Coming off an impressive season at Notre Dame last season, Love has many excited as he prepares to make the leap to the pros. Among those who is a strong believer in what he brings to the table is Giants head coach John Harbaugh.
While speaking with the media of the NFL’s annual meetings, Harbaugh was asked about drafting a running back that high in the first round. He is all for putting together the most talented team possible and praised Love’s skill set.
“You build the best team you can with the best players you can get,” Harbaugh said. “I’d probably put very very good player. Put a couple verys in front of that, maybe even a couple more. He’s really good.”

John Harbaugh was asked about Jeremiyah Love and the business side of potentially taking a running back high in the NFL Draft:
Giants Expected to Select Jeremiyah Love if he’s Available at No. 5
Before suffering a season-ending ankle injury last year, it looked as though the Giants had found their running back of the future in Cam Skattebo. While they are likely still confident in him moving forward, they are expected to create an exciting young backfield duo in 2026 and beyond.
In a recent column for ESPN, a handful of insiders weighed in on the rumors they are hearing leading up to the draft. As it pertains to Love, there remains an expectation that the Tennessee Titans could take him with the fourth overall pick. However, if they decide to pass on Love, Matt Miller noted there’s a strong chance the Giants snatch him up with the following selection.
“Love is the type of transcendent prospect who the Titans can build their offense around, giving quarterback Cam Ward a viable threat in the run and pass game,” Miller wrote. “And from what I’ve heard, if Love falls past Tennessee, the Giants will likely take him at No. 5.”
Only time will tell if the Giants will have a shot at the exciting RB prospect or if they’ll be forced to pivot and go in a different direction.
