Notre Dame football: 3 potential 2023 NFL Draft first-round picks
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team could have multiple first-round picks in 2023, and here, we look at three possible selections.
Looking ahead to the 2022 college football season, there is a lot to like about this Notre Dame football team. Marcus Freeman takes over for Brian Kelly and has breathed new life into the program, while the talent on both sides of the ball matches nearly every other team in the country.
For the Irish, the goal is simple, and that is to get back to the College Football Playoff, and possibly make a run as a legitimate title contender. The process starts early, as they take on another CFP possibility in the Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 1, so we will get a good chance to see what this team is made of early on.
As the calendar moves to April, the 2022 NFL Draft is on the horizon, and that means we should be hearing Kyle Hamilton’s name early on. He is a projected top-5 pick, and will likely be the first Notre Dame football player taken in the first round since Jerry Tillery in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Here, we look at three players in next year’s draft from the Irish who could join Hamilton as a first-round pick.
