Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, both first‑round draft selections this season, were teammates at Notre Dame before being drafted by division rivals – Love by the Arizona Cardinals and Price by the Seattle Seahawks – and are set to face each other this Sunday.
Love told reporters that the Cardinals’ defensive staff has been consulting him for insights on Price, asking questions such as “What are some of his weaknesses?” and seeking any edge the former college teammate can provide.
He praised Price’s speed and ability to gain momentum once he receives the ball, noting, “He doesn’t have many weaknesses. Once he gets the ball, he gets rolling. He’s real fast… You’ve got to get him early.” Love added that stopping Price will require getting to him before he can “roll.”
Despite describing Price as “like a brother” and acknowledging a three‑year bond at Notre Dame, Love emphasized his loyalty to the Cardinals, saying, “My team… I would take my team over JD because it’s my team.” He said the upcoming contest will feel like “going to war” on the field, even though the off‑field friendship remains.
The comments highlight the personal dimension of the Sunday matchup, with the Cardinals hoping Love’s insider perspective can help limit Price’s impact, while both players look to prove themselves as top rookie running backs in the NFC West.
