Bryce Love began his career at Stanford as a backup to former first round pick Christian McCaffrey. As a junior, Love ran for 2118 yards and scored 19 touchdowns finishing second in the Heisman voting. The San Fransisco Chronicle ran a story on Love prior to the draft; the headline read, “Staying at Stanford hurt Bryce Love’s draft stock, but coach says he’s NFL-ready”.
The biggest question about the Cardinal’s draft prospects...is the status of Bryce Love. After rushing for a school-record 2,118 yards and receiving more votes than everybody but Baker Mayfield for the Heisman Trophy in 2017, he had an injury-hampered senior season.
