Notre Dame Football: 5 takeaways from the 2021 Pro Day

NBCSN’s Coverage Was Limited

For anyone who wanted to watch the Notre Dame pro day, they were able to by tuning to NBC Sports Network, or NBCSN. That, it should be noted, is much more than most programs get for their pro days, so, be grateful for getting easily accessible coverage. However, why produce such limited coverage if you’re going through the trouble of a two-hour television event?

The broadcast spent almost all of its time on the offensive line and Ian Book, only dipping their toes into talking about anyone else, including presumed first-round pick Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. In fact, even when JOK was working out, they only showed it in the background of an Ian Book interview.

Yes, obviously, Book is the headliner, and there are a bunch of great linemen to look at, but they’re not the only players people care about.

Tommy Tremble and the rest of the receivers got no air time. No one on defense was mentioned, save for JOK in passing, NBCSN didn’t give a list of everyone’s 40-yard dash times, bench press reps, or anything else.

It was disappointing not to get a well-rounded product from the network, and it felt like too much was missing from the information they gave viewers.
