Notre Dame WR Chase Claypool Selected 49th Overall by Pittsburgh Steelers

I have been saying for weeks that Chase Claypool would not last until the third round like many Draft “experts” were predicting, and he did not. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Claypool #49 overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft – the second Notre Dame player to be drafted on Friday night.

The 2020 NFL Draft has been the draft of the wide receiver so far. Six wide receivers were selected in the first round of the draft and Claypool was the fifth to be selected in the second round when the Steelers selected him 49th overall.
