Brian Kelly has restored Notre Dame football’s draft image

Another NFL Draft has come and gone, and Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame football team once again has a strong showing with six players selected. Cole Kmet and Chase Claypool both came off the board in the second round, then Julian Okwara, Troy Pride Jr., Khalid Kareem, and Alohi Gilman all followed suit in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds.

This year’s draft class is the third time – and the second consecutive year – that head coach Brian Kelly and company have produced a six-man class, which is a great testament to the job that Kelly has done in producing NFL talent since taking over in South Bend.
