Notre Dame football has long been a blue-chip program in college football, churning out elite NFL talent throughout the years. With 13 former NFL players elected to the NFL Hall of Fame, Notre Dame has the most of any other college football program in history.
Names like Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Paul Hornung, and Joe Montana will long be remembered for their accolades both as part of the Notre Dame football team, as well as for their greatness on the NFL playing field.
Even though they have the most Hall of Fame players in the NFL, Notre Dame football went through a bit of a dry spell in terms of graduating elite caliber players to the NFL.
