Matthew Berry said this surprising team is rumored to be in ‘Love’ with this combine standout.
Jeremiyah Love torched the NFL Combine with a jaw-dropping 4.36 forty — and now the Tennessee Titans have reportedly said the Notre Dame star is the best player in the NFL Draft. There’s a ton of growing No. 4 pick buzz that has Titans fans dreaming of a splash-play speedster.
Fantasy football expert Matthew Berry dropped the bombshell at the NFL Combine. The Tennessee Titans are rumored to believe that Jeremiyah Love is the best player in the 2026 NFL Draft. Berry said he heard the intel directly from combine sources, and the Tennessee Titans apparently aren’t hiding it. That’s a massive statement for a franchise sitting at No. 4 overall — and it puts Jeremiyah Love squarely in the NFL Draft’s most fascinating debate.
“There are people in the Titans building who believe Jeremiyah Love is the best player in the draft,” Berry said, per the report.
Why the Tennessee Titans are Locked in on Jeremiyah Love at the NFL Combine
The NFL Combine performance only made this louder. Jeremiyah Love ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash — faster than Saquon Barkley’s combine time — and turned heads across Indianapolis. The Titans went 3-14 in 2025, and the offense was a disaster. Tennessee needs a franchise-altering playmaker, and Jeremiyah Love profiles as exactly that kind of NFL Draft difference-maker.
Love rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns in his final season at Notre Dame. He’s not just a combine workout warrior — he produced on the biggest stages in college football.
What This Means for the Tennessee Titans NFL Draft Plans
Taking a running back at No. 4 overall would be a bold move — and not everyone agrees it’s the right one. Some NFL Draft analysts think the Titans should address the pass rush or offensive line first. But Berry’s intel suggests the Titans’ front office has already fallen for Jeremiyah Love, and the NFL Combine only confirmed what they already believed.
The Titans made a trade for ex-Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson earlier this week. We might be able to get a stronger sense of the Tennessee Titans’ NFL draft plans once free agency opens later in March. If the Titans double-dip and make a big move for another edge, perhaps they could focus on a huge offensive playmaker such as Jeremiyah Love to help Cam Ward in new OC Brian Daboll’s offense.
The Tennessee Titans’ own website even floated the question: What if the Titans fall in love with the Notre Dame back? That’s not a hypothetical anymore. With the NFL Draft less than two months away, Jeremiyah Love is the name to watch in Nashville — and Matthew Berry just told everybody the Titans already know it.
