What happened: ESPN's Field Yates released his latest 2025 NFL mock draft. He projects Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, who ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the Combine, to the Washington Commanders at No. 11 overall. Love is rising as a first-round talent after a breakout senior season with 1,191 rushing yards and 17 TDs.

Why it matters: Commanders hold a projected top-12 pick and seek long-term RB solutions beyond aging Austin Ekeler and injury-prone Brian Robinson. Mock drafts like Yates' often shift for prospects like Love, whose elite speed fits Washington's offensive scheme under Kliff Kingsbury.

What to watch: Watch Commanders' remaining games for draft position changes and Love's pro day performance for updated projections.
