Scouting report
Love, a former four-star back with a multi-sport background in track and basketball from St. Louis, Missouri, is a future impact NFL running back. First and foremost, he is an NFL-caliber athlete in every way you’d want, with speed, acceleration and agility that translate to both the run and pass game.
His footwork is excellent and impressively quick, with good contact balance despite a larger frame than expected for his kind of speed. He is also a natural receiver. As more of a speed back, some of the power elements in his game can be inconsistent, but nothing glaring. As a blocker, he has some fundamental lapses, such as lunging and dipping his head, though he also shows some solid reps.

Stable metrics (2023-25)
Stable metrics tend to be more predictive of future success than unstable metrics. The most stable facets of quarterback play are those with the biggest sample sizes, even though they intuitively seem “easier.” Unstable metrics are more volatile when it comes to projecting quarterback play, as results tend to vary from year to year.
