Social media reacts to Notre Dame LB Jack Kiser picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars
The third day of the NFL draft saw Notre Dame linebacker Jack Kiser get picked with the No. 107 overall selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth round.
The leader of the Irish defense for the last few seasons wasn't expected to go early in the draft, and this was right around where he should have gotten picked. Unlike the previous two Notre Dame players taken, the Jags found a player that was expected to go in this range.
It was a great moment for Kiser, one that he certainly earned following a very successful Irish career. Find out below how social media reacted to the Notre Dame linebacker getting selected.
Jack Kiser hearing his name called
Called the glue, the leader of the Notre Dame defense after getting selected. The broadcast was very favorable with Kiser going to Jacksonville, and rightfully so. He's going to be a very solid player for them.
Head coach Marcus Freeman
It's hard to disagree with Freeman's initial statement, Kiser certainly deserved this moment. As a four-year starter at a big-time program, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he'll get the opportunity to play at the next level.
Jack Kiser getting the call
It is time for Kiser to get back to work, just look at the smile on his face. That is what this day is all about, seeing your dream come true and getting a chance to play at the highest level. What a moment for Jack and his family.
The Jaguars get deeper at linebacker
Jacksonville saw all they needed to out of Kiser, as he surely impressed them during his Notre Dame career and then during the Senior Bowl as well. He's going to be a very solid pro for them, and represent the team extremely well.
Could Kiser play another position for Jacksonville?
Not only did Kiser go earlier than he was mocked by O'Brien, he has positional versatility as well. While he probably won't play too much safety at the next level, it just shows that he has the skill set to play on the back-end of a defense as well.
Intangible rich
Not only is Kiser a great football player, he's a great student and person as well. A finalist for the Campbell Trophy, he exemplified 'academic success, football performance, and exemplary leadership,' during his Notre Dame career.
A tackling machine
There aren't more solid tacklers than Kiser that were coming out of the draft, as Griffis points out that he had the lowest missed tackle rate of any linebacker with over 75 tackles this past year. That's elite production.
