The Notre Dame Football program has sent more players to the NFL than any other in history, and one player is considered their biggest sleeper.

The Notre Dame Football program has seen plenty of players selected in the NFL Draft, including nine this past year. This is a program that has built a reputation of not only producing NFL talent but elite NFL players, some of which have gone on to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
