Notre Dame Football needs Chase Claypool to be elite in 2019

The 2018 Notre Dame football team was defined by big-time players making big-time plays in key moments. A lot of those big-time plays came from wide receiver Miles Boykin in the passing game.

Boykin is now a Baltimore Raven. Someone else needs to step up.

Enter Chase Claypool.

Claypool is similar in size (6’4′, 225 pounds) as to what Boykin was, but he’s a different type of receiver at this point. He has the speed to be a deep threat, but often plays like more of an oversized slot receiver.

That needs to change this season.
