Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman became the third Notre Dame football player drafted on the third day of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday and sixth overall. The Los Angeles Chargers selected Gilman #186 overall in the 6th round.
Gilman joins a Chargers roster that has plenty of Notre Dame connections. Defensive linemen Isaac Rochell and Jerry Tillery along with linebacker Drue Tranquill have all been selected by the Chargers in recent years. James Onuwaulu was signed by the Chargers last off-season as well but was placed on injured reserve in August with a knee injury.
Gilman came to Notre Dame in 2017 as a transfer from Navy and after sitting out a year, he became a playmaker for the Irish defense immediately.
