Chris Finke is every bit as good as Clemson’s Hunter Renfrow, who was selected in the 5th round by the Oakland Raiders. The stats prove that.

It’s actually pretty remarkable to have Finke on this list, seeing as he caught less than 10 balls in his high school career.

All Finke has done at Notre Dame is become Mr. Reliable. Finke is seemingly always open and he seemingly always catches balls that are thrown to him. His ability as a punt returner and special teams player, in general, will also be attractive to NFL Scouts.

Next. Julian Love found a perfect home with the Giants. dark

Finke is one of the better stories that Notre Dame has had in quite some time. I wouldn’t quite put him on the same scale as Rudy, but… well, he’s up there.
