DeShone Kizer's advantage over the other top quarterbacks in this year's draft: He knows what it's like to win … and to lose.
His 2016 Notre Dame squad went 4-8, the school's worst season in nine years and one that included defeats to Navy and Duke.
Kizer noted that any NFL team that drafts a quarterback early will be in a similarly rough situation. He explained that his awful 2016 season gave him a better understanding of, and appreciation for, the winning years that preceded it. For instance, Kizer took over as a starter early in 2015 and helped Notre Dame to a 10-3 record.
