NFL Draft Combine: Notre Dame Tight End Eli Raridon helps his draft stock

It’s a little odd that we are in NFL Draft season, and there has been very little attention paid to the Notre Dame tight end in this year’s group. Notre Dame’s reputation for being TEU has been well earned, and generally an Irish tight end in the draft gets a little more press. Usually… but […]
