With the NFL Draft this Thursday, former Notre Dame football standout Miles Boykin will be the sixth Irish wide receiver drafted in the last 10 years.
Notre Dame has had at least one player taken in every draft since 1978, so draft success isn’t new to anyone in South Bend.
For some reason, Boykin continues to be undervalued in some draft circles. Mock drafts have placed him from as high as round three to as low as round six. A four round swing in the draft is pretty big, both in terms of status as well as resulting contract.
