As expected, tight end [autotag]Michael Mayer[/autotag] is headed to the NFL draft. He’s the most complete tight end in college football, holds just about every possible tight end record one can have at Notre Dame, and is going to make an NFL team really happy when his name is called in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Mayer goes down as the most accomplished tight end in Notre Dame history as he sits atop the programs records for receptions, yards, and touchdowns by a player of that position. Notre Dame has certainly been able to withstand tight end talents moving on to football’s highest level in recent years but let’s not get it confused – you don’t simply replace Michael Mayer in 2023.
The move makes all the sense as what else does he have to prove in college? Go get the big boy paycheck instead of just NIL money, play for hopefully at least a decade, eventually go back and finish your degree and dominate life the entire time through.
As he sets off to get ready for the NFL draft, let’s take a look back at some of the best photos from Michael Mayer’s career at Notre Dame.
