As a rookie with the Falcons, Tyler Allgeier ran for 1,035 yards — and then the Falcons used the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft on running back Bijan Robinson. This year, Allgeier left the Falcons for the Cardinals in free agency — and then the Cardinals used the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft on running back Jeremiyah Love.
Allgeier says he’s fine with that.
Talking to reporters for the first time since Love’s arrival in Arizona, Allgeier said he’s doing everything he can to help the rookie acclimate to the NFL, even though he knows Love is being groomed as the starter and Allgeier will get a lesser role in the offense because Love was drafted.
“It’s not like there’s any bad blood, we’re just building that relationship and we’re pretty close right now,” Allgeier said. “There’s no point in being a jerk about it. That’s not going to get you anywhere in life, in this business, in this sport.”
Allgeier said he knows the Cardinals drafted the player they think can most improve the team, and he embraces that.
