Notre Dame Football: DeShone Kizer Sees Advantages In Losing

DeShone Kizer doesn’t think his biggest asset heading into the 2017 NFL Draft is his 6-foot-4, 235 pound build, his powerful arm or his ability to keep the play alive with his feet.

The former Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback says his advantage over the other draft hopefuls at his position is he knows what it’s like to lose.

“The biggest question right now is the 4-8 factor. If you’re supposed to be this elite guy and you’re going to declare early, how do you go 4-8 last season? I would say that’s probably my biggest advantage, in terms of comparing me to other quarterbacks in this draft — is that I do have the experience of losing,” said Kizer on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
