Notre Dame’s Draft Status By Position

For decades, it’s been consistently verified that tight end and the offensive line are Notre Dame’s easiest positions to recruit. Where the Fighting Irish have had to grapple in an attempt to keep up with the Joneses of college football has been at the skill positions, especially cornerback and running back. “We’ve got to make some plays on the perimeter [on defense and offense], our running back position has got to continue to grow,” Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said prior to the 2019 season while measuring his words carefully on where the program needs to elevate the most to reach a top-tier status.
