The 2026 NFL draft is more anticipated than ever by Chiefs fans and American football followers…

According to the latest draft model from Pro Football Focus (PFF), the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to have a notable pick at the 2026 NFL Draft, using their 9th pick to select guard Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame University). This is considered one of the most intriguing predictions, as Love is currently considered a top contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year (NFL Rookie of the Year) in the near future.
Jeremiyah Love has impressed in the Notre Dame jersey with his explosive speed, ability to change direction, and especially his dangerous runs after tackles.

In the last two NCAA seasons, he consistently achieved top PFF ratings, placing him among the most effective running backs nationwide. Love isn’t just a pure “ball-running machine,” but also possesses the potential to become a formidable threat thanks to his excellent catching and situational awareness.
For the Chiefs, this prediction reflects a notable strategic shift. After a disappointing 2025 season, Kansas City is reportedly looking to ease pressure on Patrick Mahomes by rebuilding a strong running back system, making their offense more balanced and unpredictable. Adding a young, energetic, and impactful running back like Love could be a crucial piece in the Chiefs’ quest to regain their dominance in the AFC.

If the PFF’s scenario comes true, Jeremiyah Love would not only be the future of the Chiefs, but also have the chance to become a new face in the NFL in the race for individual titles right from his rookie season. The 2026 NFL Draft is therefore more anticipated than ever by Chiefs fans and American football followers — where a violent decision could open up a promising new chapter for the team that once reached the Super Bowl.
