COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Isaac Rochell was a typical college student at Notre Dame. With little money for food, the defensive co-captain for the Fighting Irish lived off cheap pizza.
"People would make jokes about players not having money to eat at night, well that junk is true," Rochell said. "I didn't have any bread in college. Little Caesars Pizza was $5, so I would get that instead of going and eating a healthier option."
Rochell played at a robust 290 pounds his final season at Notre Dame. However, in 2017 his mindset changed during the pre-draft process as he prepared for the NFL.
