Daniel Jeremiah won't rule out Jeremiyah Love falling to the Chiefs

NFL Draft Expert Daniel Jeremiah recently appeared on 'The Joe Klatt Show' to discuss the 2026 NFL Draft. During the conversation, he mentioned that the Kansas City Chiefs are still interested in top running back prospect Jeremiyah Love if he's available.

"If Jeremiyah Love is there, I think all bets are off," said Jeremiah. (Kenneth) Walker was him and (Zach) Charbonnet. That was a tag team, group there in Seattle."

Love has often been linked to going to the Chiefs in the draft before the free-agent signing of Kenneth Walker III.

"You'd like to have more than one (running) back, and it's like, oh, this is electric. Well, I can use him in so many different ways. (Patrick) Mahomes is coming off an injury, so we're going to ease him back in. We're going; we brought Eric Bieniemy back to be the offensive coordinator. We want to get this run game going now," said Jeremiah, "I've got two guys, and they're going to complement each other very well. We can really get the run game going."

In 2025, Love rushed 199 times for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He also tallied 27 receptions for 280 yards and three receiving touchdowns, earning finalist status for the Heisman Trophy.

"Both these guys can catch the ball, and Love is like a legit slot receiver. If you wanted to put him out there, he can go out there. You can make a case he might be the best slot, probably the best slot receiver in this draft, to keep the theme alive," said Jeremiah, "Think about the creativity, the screen games, the fun coming back to the Kansas City offense, and the biggest point of all is just the Mahomes thing…Coming off that injury, let's take the load off of him a little bit."

The Chiefs signed Walker to a multiyear deal this offseason after he rushed for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. He was also impactful in the passing game with 31 receptions for 282 yards and was the Super Bowl LX MVP.
