'22 IA TE Eli Raridon (Notre Dame Signee)

[The Backer]

His grandma was at the player walk with her friends. They had matching shirts. Really cool

How did she look?

Loved the TEU shoutout during the game. Raridon looks like he will continue the tradition and will be playing on Sundays next fall.

 

[irishff1014]

Quietly on pace for 684 yards which would put him right up there with Eifert and Mayer.

He was open on straight go route when Carr hit Faison on a crosser.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think he’s moving better than I expected. Definitely not what he was as an athlete, but certainly well enough to be drafted.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Hoping he fights for another year no reason why he shouldn’t get it he’s gonna be a stud TE tho

He should just turn up and play next year if he wants and when the NCAA rings freeman to ask what's up he can just tell em off.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Let's get another year

 

[Punky]

Interesting in Doeren's post game presser that he said they were surprised by Eli's performance. They weren't prepared for him at all.

 

[irishandy]

Raridon had a great game yesterday, I agree let's get another year for next season; he'll definitely continue the ND TE trend and be playing on Sunday's.

 

[Irishnuke]

Gotta get this man some TDs

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Eli has really developed into a top TE

Not going to lie. I’m surprised by his play too

 

[IAIrish]

Agreed! We've got a 6'7, sure handed TE just waiting to be used in the red zone.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

He's got some good hands on him. I thought otherwise after week 1.

Some of us pointed out that his hands weren't a recurring issue historically. It was an off day in which he still also made some really big plays.

Glad to see he's worked it out. He's a big time player. Having a great season.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Everything in it's right place.

The WR group is good. The OL pass pro is outstanding. The two backs are as good of a duo as there is anywhere. Having the TE as part of the machine just makes everything else better. He's a certifiable threat as of right now. Everyone take notice.

NCSt’s coaching staff is finally aware.

 

[jprue24]

He is making the most of having a QB who can slang it

 

[ulukinatme]

Eli always had the potential, the only thing holding him back was the injury bug (And a few good talents ahead of him).

 

[Dale]

Raridon is 3rd in P4 for TEs with at least 20 catches in Yards/Reception

Also 9th in Reception % for the same sample size.

2nd in Yards/Route Run to Eli Stowers

 

[Dale]

Oddly enough but off memory, yeah I believe it, he is credited with ZERO missed tackles forced. Missed Tackle Rate is a leading indicator of NFL success for the draft. No idea where he will land but damn is he catching the ball currently.

 

[Old Man Mike]

He is a powerful sure-handed lumberer --- shifty he ain't. But I like him a lot.

If he gets to blocking like Brock Wright, he's a good pro.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

He steps out of bounds because his feet are so fucking big.

Seriously.

 

[Riddickulous]

30 catches, 473 yards, and no TDs. Very good and weird season.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Does he have eligibility for next year?

 

[irishff1014]

Seriously.

Awareness is a crazy thing.

 

[NDohio]

Seriously.

What’s crazy is in two of those sideline dances it was his inside foot that went out of bounds.

 

[SDIrishFan]

Does he have eligibility for next year?

No, though he could petition. I believe he only played in 5 games his freshman year?

 

[IAIrish]

Seems misused in the rz this year. I don't understand the insistence to throw him flat routes and hope he can break tackles when you can just throw it to him already in the end zone at 6'7.
Begging for a slant/ fade/ option route... he should be 2nd on the team in receiving tds.

 

[KMac151993]

I dunno why we dont just throw 3 fades to him or fields.
