Three more Notre Dame players will get their shot at the NFL
Three more Notre Dame players will get their shot at the NFL
It wasn't just the Notre Dame football draftees and undrafted free agent signees that will get their shot in the NFL, three other Irish players will also.
On Sunday kicker Mitch Jeter, defensive end RJ Oben and running back Devyn Ford each earned rookie mini camps invitations, giving them a chance to show teams across the league that they belong.
Jeter signed with the Minnesota Vikings, but they do have second-year player Will Reichard returning and it could be tough for them to carry a second active specialist. Oben inked with the Kansas City Chiefs, as they also have plenty of depth along the line including former Notre Dame star Jerry Tillery.
As for Ford, he will try and make the Las Vegas Raiders roster, but that won't be easy after they used their No. 6 overall pick to take Boise State star Ashton Jeanty. There are more than a few solid veteran backups already on the roster as well.
While it may be the tough route to the NFL, these three have earned the right to do so, and we have seen more than a few success stories for players coming out of this route.
