The Washington Commanders<\/a> own the No. 7 pick in next month’s NFL draft<\/a>, and they have a deep pool of talent to choose from. One of the names being floated around for the Commanders is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the \u201cPat McAfee Show\u201d on Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a> said it would \u201cmake sense\u201d for Love to be selected by Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see Washington being interested in a player like Jeremiyah Love. Seven would be the spot,\u201d said Schefter.<\/p>\n

Fans got very excited about the possibility of landing Love. Schefter, however, guested on The Team 980 and clarified his remark, stressing that he was only predicting and \u201cnot reporting.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLet me be very clear, I’ve never spoken to Washington about Jeremiyah Love. Never once, okay? But I’ve spoken to a lot of people about Jeremiyah Love and the kind of player he is,\u201d said Schefter, as quoted by Commanders Wire’s Ivan Lambert.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also know that Washington has been in the running back market. We’ve got a great player. There’s a real chance he (Love) may get past (number) four or five, and six. If that real great player gets past four (through six), wouldn’t it make sense to take him at seven?\u201d<\/p>\n

Love had an exceptional third year at Notre Dame, leading the team to a 10-2 record. He rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, while also tallying 27 receptions for 280 yards and three touchdowns. He was named a Unanimous All-American.<\/p>\n

Love, who was also a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, will instantly boost the Commanders’ offense if they get him.<\/p>\n

Last month, Washington coach Dan Quinn had a telling comment<\/a> when asked about the prospect of picking the 20-year-old running back.<\/p>\n

Washington missed the playoffs last season with a 5-12 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Commanders own the No. 7 pick in next month’s NFL draft, and they have a deep…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[4191,427,7,7805,6,15,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-832957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-adam-schefter","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-jeremiyah-love","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-nfl-draft","14":"tag-washington","15":"tag-washington-commanders","16":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116290144538352849","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=832957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
