Notre Dame Draft Wrap Up


It looked like the Irish might get blanked in the 2015 NFL Draft but Ben Koyack ensured that would not happen.  Although Koyack may have the only Irish drafted several former Notre Dame made NFL connections after the draft.

Ben Koyack was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 12th pick in the 7th round (229th overall) making him the 486th Notre Dame player ever drafted.  Koyack becomes the 6th straight Notre Dame starting tight end and 28th overall to be drafted into the NFL.  His selection extends the Irish's streak of 78 straight years (longest ever) with at least one player with a NFL draft pick (including supplemental draft)

Cody Riggs signed with the Tennessee Titans as a free agent.

Kyle Brindza signs as a free agent  with the Detroit Lions.

DaVaris Daniels joins the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent.

Cam McDaniel has been offered minicamp opportunities be several teams.

Former Notre Dame Quarterback  Andrew Hendrix has signed  as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders.

Notre Dame has 19 of 22 starters returning in 2015 and just 1 of the 3 seniors got drafted.
