The New England Patriots met with Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer at the NFL combine last week in Indianapolis, per Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar. Mayer is largely considered the top tight end prospect in the 2023 NFL draft.
He caught 67 passes for 809 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He was a key receiving weapon for Notre Dame, as he had three games with over 100 receiving yards in 2022. He also was able to spread the field for the program, averaging 12.1 yards per reception.
Mayer set records while at Notre Dame. His 180 receptions were the most in school history, surpassing Tyler Eifert’s record of 140.
