NFL mock draft 2026 from ESPN has 2 RBs from same school in first round

[ASFN Admin]

We know that Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is all but a lock for the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. But is it possible his Fighting Irish teammate and fellow running back Jadarian Price goes in Round 1 as well, making him and Love the fifth pair of RBs from the same school to do so?

In our latest 2026 NFL mock draft from Christian D'Andrea, he's got Love going to the Washington Commanders at No. 7 overall and Price to the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick No. 56. But in the latest ESPN NFL mock from Peter Schrager, he's got Love to the Tennessee Titans at No. 4 and Price to the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at No. 32. Here's his take:

Believe it or not, Notre Dame has never had two running backs selected in the first round of the same NFL draft. In fact, only four running back tandems from the same school have ever been selected in the first round in the same year. But Price is the No. 2 running back in this class and would provide some nice pop to the Seattle offense after the departure of Kenneth Walker III via free agency. He had only 113 carries last season but turned them into 674 yards and 11 scores.

There you have it! Make sure to check out the latest NFL mock draft from D'Andrea!
