Summary
Jeremiyah Love, the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, signed a rookie deal worth $53 million with the Arizona Cardinals. This is the most guaranteed money ever given to a running back in NFL history, surpassing Saquon Barkley’s $36 million deal. Love impressed with Notre Dame and will join a revamped Cardinals offense under new head coach Mike LaFleur.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Love’s deal is a clear indication of the Cardinals’ confidence in him, and he’s already making smart financial decisions.
He’s not spending his NFL checks, instead letting his financial advisor handle it, and plans to use his endorsement money to buy a house for his parents and a car for his dad.
This is a sign of maturity from a player who’s already making a big splash in the NFL.
Love’s payday is a reflection of the changed landscape of the running back market, and it will be interesting to see if he can live up to the hype.
Original Observation: The bigger question is, how will he handle the pressure of being the face of the Cardinals’ offense.
