Where Notre Dame was & is: Tight ends

Here is where some abstract thought about “Tight End U” would fit. Perhaps a musing about Alizé Mack’s draft hopes, or lack thereof, jeopardizing Notre Dame’s streak of drafted starting tight ends, a run in which every season-opening starting Irish tight end has been drafted dating back to the Tyrone Willingham days.

But that is all in the past. Then again, there is a way to tie the past to the present, even including the NFL draft thoughts — Could this crop of Notre Dame tight ends include the 12th (or 13th, if Mack does indeed hear his name called) one drafted this century?
