Notre Dame DE Khalid Kareem Selected #147 in NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals

Khalid Kareem was the second Notre Dame player to hear his name called on the final day of the 2020 NFL Draft when the Cincinnati Bengals selected the Irish DE #147 overall with the first pick of the 5th round.

Kareem is the only defensive end that the Bengals have selected so far in the draft and is the second Notre Dame defensive lineman selected this year after Julian Okwara was picked last night by the Detroit Lions.

Kareem was a dominant player for Notre Dame in spurts but struggled with consistency. In 2018, he flat out destroyed Michigan, but then fell off a bit.
