After years of avoiding a max exodus and early departures, Notre Dame lost four players this off-season who had eligibility remaining – Will Fuller, Keivarae Russell, CJ Prosise, and Jaylon Smith. By the end of the second day of the 2016 NFL Draft, the quartet has been largely validated in their decisions.
On Thursday night, Will Fuller got things started for Notre Dame. After Ronnie Stanley was selected with the 6th overall pick becoming the first Golden Domer selected in the top 10 since Bryant Young, Fuller was off the board at 21st overall.
