Both Floyd and Rudolph are NFL talents, projecting as borderline first round picks. They are, however, in very different situations. Floyd is coming off one of his best games as a member of the Fighting Irish, catching 11 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in Notre Dame’s 20-16 win over arch-rival USC. Rudolph, on the other hand, struggled throughout the early part of the season with a nagging hamstring injury before undergoing season-ending surgery in mid-October on what became a torn hamstring.
