STM Take

Back-to-back tier 1 finishes (#6, #4) in 2024-2025 as a 108th overall 4th-round pick puts Love in the rarest outlier-positive S class. The Notre Dame 4th-round origin plus the change of scenery to Seattle appears to be the catalyst for the elite breakout. The 2026 question is whether Love earns his first Pro Bowl plus holds tier 1 territory or whether the back-to-back peaks were Seahawks-context-driven.

Love came out of Notre Dame as the New York Giants' 4th-round pick (108th overall) in 2019. He spent four years in New York before signing with the Seattle Seahawks in 2023 free agency. His STTM career runs tier 6 (#47) in 2021, tier 5 (#33) in 2022, tier 6 (#44) in 2023, tier 1 (#6) in 2024, and tier 1 (#4) in 2025.

Strengths

Back-to-back tier 1 finishes (#6, #4) in 2024-2025 as a 108th overall 4th-round pick puts him in the rarest outlier-positive S class.
Notre Dame ACC 4th-round origin plus the Seattle change-of-scenery breakout gives him real veteran market value.

Concerns

No Pro Bowl recognition yet despite back-to-back top-10 STTM finishes flags a gap between metric dominance and broader voting.
Seattle's broader defensive identity transition compresses the structural support around Love.

What to watch: Whether Love earns his first Pro Bowl in 2026 plus holds tier 1 (top 10), the threshold for confirming the STTM dominance translates.
