Former Notre Dame football star tight end announces retirement
We all expected big things from tight end Kyle Rudolph when he finished his Notre Dame football career and took his talents to the NFL.
Twelve seasons later, Rudolph is hanging up his cleats and calling it a career. The Ohio native was the No. 43 pick of the 2011 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings, playing there for the majority of his career.
He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection, in 2012 and 2017, and recorded 482 receptions and 4,773 yards with 50 touchdowns in his very solid NFL career. Rudolph was the first true freshman Notre Dame tight end to start all 13 games, setting a school record for receiving yards by a freshman in the process.
Can't wait to come back home! @Vikings #Skol https://t.co/v1qL4pHHvx
