Running back considered by many as best player in class

The Cardinals chose Love.
With the third pick in Thursday's NFL Draft, the best player on the board was sitting there for new coach Mike LaFleur and GM Monti Ossenfort. So they took Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, a threat as both a runner and receiver to boost the offense.
He joins skill teammates Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and Marvin Harrison Jr. for LaFleur's first-year scheme.
"It's very special," Love said after the pick. "I'm looking forward to getting to Arizona.
"I feel very honored to represent the running backs."
