Arizona Cardinals Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has not designated rookie Jeremiyah Love as the starting running back ahead of training camp. Despite being selected with the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, Love will compete with James Conner and Tyler Allgeier for carries.
The Arizona Cardinals opened training camp without naming a clear starter at running back. While Jeremiyah Love was a high draft selection – chosen third overall in the recent NFL Draft – Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett declined to immediately install him as the team’s primary ball carrier.
Hackett indicated that the competition for the starting role remains open, with both James Conner and Tyler Allgeier also vying for playing time. The source did not provide any direct quotes from Hackett regarding his reasoning; however, the lack of an immediate announcement suggests a desire to evaluate all options during training camp practices and preseason games before making a final decision.
The Cardinals will likely use training camp to assess Love’s readiness for a significant role in the offense alongside Conner and Allgeier. The team's approach indicates that earning a starting position is not guaranteed based on draft status alone.
