Jamir Jones had the opportunity to play with a lot of quality players during his time at Notre Dame, including his new teammate, second-year wide receiver Chase Claypool. He also had the luxury of being in a deep defensive line room when he was moved to the edge for the Fighting Irish in 2018, during which season he did not play.
But he learned a lot from his peers, like 2020 third-round pick Julian Okwara, 2021 fifth-rounder Daelin Hayes, and 2020 fifth-round pick Khalid Kareem. He himself went undrafted last year, and didn’t even make it through a training camp, but is now on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 53-man roster, and he credits the immense help of his former teammates in getting him here.
