Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> have as one of their priorities this offseason to find a star running back. According to Field Yates, the big opportunity could be in the 2026 NFL Draft with Jeremiyah Love.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeremiyah Love with his special skill set and the Chiefs\u2019 huge need at running back would make a ton of sense at No. 9 if he gets there. I would be totally stunned if he gets past the Chiefs unless the Chiefs do something dramatic in free agency at that running back spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, Patrick Mahomes<\/a> has not had help from the backfield, and this has prevented the offense from reaching its full potential. Therefore, if general manager Brett Veach lands a top running back in the draft or through free agency, the Chiefs could be Super Bowl<\/a> contenders.<\/p>\n

Andy Reid receives warning about RB for Patrick Mahomes from NFL insider<\/p>\n

Although Jeremiyah Love seems like an ideal candidate for Andy Reid and the Chiefs, Field Yates issued a very clear warning. If Brett Veach does not make a trade to move up the board, the running back will not be available at No. 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just reiterate, I don\u2019t think he actually gets there once teams ahead of the Chiefs have filled out some of their other needs. Maybe Washington get themselves a pass rusher or a wide receiver in free agency. Maybe the Saints address wide receiver somehow before the Draft. The point is Jeremiyah Love is going to go extremely high.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Love reaches the Chiefs\u2019 spot, the big question is whether Reid will pull the trigger for a playmaker or prefer to strengthen his defense. This is one of the most interesting debates in the NFL right now, along with the possible retirement of Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n
