Notre Dame isn’t ranked second in the country for nothing. The chances of a few members of this year’s team entering the NFL in 2021 are extremely high. That the Irish will have three players in the annual Senior Bowl might be the best evidence of that thus far.

Book, Hayes and Ogundeji all are captains this season and have stood out at one time or another all season. Book has been the straw to stir the Irish’s offense, even if he’s not as talented as some of the other players on that side of the ball. Hayes has racked up a few honors this season and only seems to be getting stronger as the year goes on. Ogundeji is equally strong on that defensive line, and he’s moments that have told the world to pay attention to him.
The NFL is going to better for having all three of this guys in its league. Of course, the immediate hope is that they can lead Notre Dame to a national championship. It will be tough, but they and their teammates are up for the challenge.
