Every Notre Dame NFL draft pick since 2000
Notre Dame’s 21st century didn’t start the way anyone would have liked as the Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham, and Charlie Weis eras all left something to be desired but the ship changed course under Brian Kelly who led the Irish back to the brink of the greatness that is expected for Notre Dame football.
Since 2000, more than 100 different Notre Dame football players have had their names called in the NFL draft. Several others have signed as undrafted free agents but we’ll focus on those who were drafted for now.
Last year saw Kyle Hamilton and Kyren Williams have their names called. This spring Michael Mayer and Isaiah Foskey will certainly hear theirs early, and others will join them in days two and three of the draft.
So who are the 102 who have had their names called since 2000?
Who wound up having the best careers and who didn’t have the career they or you were hoping?
You can almost certainly name plenty but there are some former Notre Dame greats you’ve likely forgotten about as well. Here are the 102…and counting.
