Last Call

Last week we saw several former Notre Dame Football players got free agent calls from a number of NFL teams after the lockout ended.  Of the Irish players that were on draft watch lists Kerry Neal seemed to be the odd man out not getting a call.  That changed when Neal joined 14 other undrafted free rookies that signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, including fellow rookie linebackers Penn State’s Chris Colasanti and Adrian Moten from Maryland.

The 6’2” 245lb linebacker had 42 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 12 games last season for Notre Dame.  With 50 colligate games played racking up 112 tackles and 7 sacks Neal brings plenty of experience especially since he has played both linebacker and defensive end for the Irish.
