Former Notre Dame running backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price rekindled some fond memories at this week's NFL's scouting combine.

They shared a room — just as they used to when they were college teammates.

Only here, one of college football’s best backfield duos is no longer working in tandem. Instead, they're here to showcase their own skills and increase their prospects heading into April’s NFL draft.

“I'm going to go out there and be myself, no matter where I go, no matter when my name's called, I'll be Jeremiyah Love,” he said before Saturday's workouts in Indianapolis.

“But it’s a great honor, seeing if people recognize me, and I plan to go out and prove myself right, prove everybody else right as well.”

There is a mutual respect and admiration between Love and Price for what they accomplished together over the past three seasons.
