"Love is an elite modern running back with true three-down skills. He has home run speed, with multiple 90-plus-yard runs in his college career. He's also a skilled receiver, hauling in 64 catches and six touchdown receptions in his three seasons. But Love isn't just a speed back. He can deliver violent hits at the point of attack and has the contact balance to bounce off tacklers and stay upright."

The list below is based on film study and conversations I've had with NFL scouts and evaluators over the past several months. These rankings can -- and will -- change between now and April as I study more film, have more conversations and see these players in person at all-star games and the combine."
