Notre Dame Football: Irish QBs at the NFL Combine

DeShone Kizer is just the fourth Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback to be invited to the NFL Combine since 2000.

The Combine represents a unique opportunity to prove your value to all 32 NFL teams simultaneously, but it’s rarely worked out that way for Kizer’s three predecessors: Jarious Jackson, Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen.

Jarious Jackson was one of 21 quarterbacks invited to the 2000 NFL Combine, which featured such talent as Marshall’s Chad Pennington, West Virginia’s Marc Bulger and some guy named Tom Brady of the Michigan Wolverines.
