NFL TE Brock Wright never started at ND because he played with 5 NFL draft picks (Smythe, Mack, Kmet, Tremble, Mayer) in his four year college career. One of my favorite bits of ND trivia.
Trying to think of the last STARTING TE who wasn't drafted? Maybe McBride since they only threw to Mayes when they passed the ball that year.

I’ve been staring at this one for an hour. It has to be sarcasm I wasn’t giving credit for?

Damn, was coming to post that :laugh: Part of me wants it to be real, but either way it's funny!

Was Alize Mack drafted?

7th round. He's pretty much the only ND tight end starter to not make an impact in the NFL. So not only are our guys drafted but they are drafted early and/or become starters.

Obviously not ideal, but if he's as good of a recieving option as experts are making out, I wonder if this helps makes up for our inability to get a big boundary WR. If he's the second coming of Tyler Warren, there's no reason to not let him run that route tree.

I believe that is/was the plan all along, considering how Denbrock uses TEs.

I don’t know if it’s been covered since, but I saw A LOT of posts asking how he could be KSU in the morning & ND in the afternoon, & how much did ND pay him to get him to change?

A) He was not KSU in the morning. There was a false rumor he had committed to KSU the night before. He didn’t. In the morning people found out he contacted someone (and just assumed it’s KSU) & started putting in picks.
He actually called ND in the morning & that was kept secret all day.

B) ND didn’t pay him off. Even KSU mods are saying the KSU offer was larger.

C) The KSU mods never actually knew what was going on. They never even mentioned Premer’s visit to ND as a factor. It’s like it never happened to them. They made a lot of assumptions without actually talking to Premer or his family.

D) Notre Dame nailed his OV. The staff knew they did great. Premer told them ND was his favorite. So this was always a coin-flip between ND & a school close to home. He was either going to stay home or choose to leave home to go to his top school. He chose his top school.

E) The notion that nobody saw this coming & “even ND didn’t see it coming…” as the KSU mods are stating is false. Just because the ND sites didn’t see it coming doesn’t mean ND themselves didn’t. They were confident all along. Because they actually talked to Premer who told them to their faces ND was his favorite.

This kid's film is ridiculous wow. Tall, solidly built already, fast, great routes, lethal after catch, and hands also. When I first saw it, I honestly thought it was just a very tall wr. Honestly, think this kid may see pt his frosh year. A 6'6" D1 tight end with wheels like this is no joke at all and extremely difficult for any defense to handle. One of the best films I've see from this position.

Appreciate the insight, Ron.

I’m not adept at breaking down film, but watching him v his comp, the comparison that first comes to mind is the scene in Billy Madison where he plays dodgeball against a bunch of third graders.
