DeShone Kizer said earning his Notre Dame degree remains his top priority, even as he officially begins his professional career tonight during the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
“I’ll do whatever I can from here on out to get back to that. I’m only about 35 credits short. But I’ll spend every summer working towards that. I chose Notre Dame because of the power of their degree, so I want to make sure I have it in hand,” the former Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback said in a phone interview from Philadelphia about an hour ago.
