This year Notre Dame sent eight players to the NFL combine. 4 defensive players and 4 offensive players. They all performed well in their drills and measurables however one of them almost stole the entire NFL Combine Show.

Myles Boykin proved that he belongs, he made the right decision by declaring for the draft and that the ND does produce top quality talent at the skill positions.

We will get to him in a bit.

First let’s cover the 4 defensive players:

Te’Von Coney:

Coney is a 6’7 linebacker who played almost every single snap in the middle of the Irish defense this season. Coney looked smooth in the drills but he did not take part in the testing. Coney will test during the ND Pro Day.

Drue Tranquill:

Drue is one of Irish Nation’s favorite players. The two time captain fought through so many injuries this season but never stopped leading the team on and off the field.

Drue stands 6’2 weighing 234 pounds. He absolutely crushed the bench with 31 reps, best out of all 28 linebackers and in the top of the whole combine. He was 7th in 40 running a 4.58, 9th in the broad jump at 122 inches and third in his 60 yard shuttle running it in 11.64 seconds.

One team is going to get lucky with this great young man.

Jerry Tillery:

Mack has some of the best talent you will ever see out of a tight end. His problem has been off the field issues and always giving it his all. If he can control those he will shine at the next level.
