Marvin Harrison Jr. has seen enough of rookie running back Jeremiyah Love’s pass-catching abilities.
While talking about the Arizona Cardinals’ first-year tailback, Harrison went as far as to imply that Love could even pass as a wide receiver for the team.
“He really could come to our room if he ever wanted to,” Harrison said of Love, via Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. “Seeing him on twitch routes killing backers is laughable sometimes.”
Love showed a little bit of his game downfield in last week’s preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders with 14 receiving yards on two catches and three targets on top of his 58 rushing yards on 11 carries.
The former Notre Dame Fighting Irish star’s ability to contribute in the passing game adds another dimension to the Cardinals’ offense, which finished in the lower half of the league with an average of 325.8 total yards per game in 2025. He can also help take some defensive focus off Harrison and others.
Still, it is what he does on the ground that makes Love an important piece of Arizona’s attack.
In his final two years with Notre Dame, Love burned rubber for 2,497 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns on 199 carries.
