Three former Notre Dame players make the NFL’s Pro Bowl Teams

Who made it?

The Irish have a long history of sending fantastic players to the NFL and having a big amount of success. Today, the NFL released their Pro Bowl teams for the AFC and the NFC. There weren’t as many former Irish names as we would have liked to see, but there were still some Pro Bowl stalwarts that made the team’s. Find out below which former Notre Dame players are going to Las Vegas.

Packers cut former Notre Dame star running back

Who should take a flier on Dex?

Former Notre Dame star running back Dexter Williams is among the camp casualties around the NFL this morning as he’s been cut by the Green Bay Packers.

Williams played in seven games over the past two seasons for the Packers, carrying the ball seven times for 19 yards.

Williams played at Notre Dame from 2015-2018.  Williams had a monster season in 2018 for the Irish as he totaled 1128 scrimmage yards and scored 13 touchdowns in just nine games.

All the best to very key star from Notre Dame’s 2018 team that went 12-0 in the regular season before being drafted 194th overall by Green Bay in the spring of 2019.

Watch: NFL Films Feature Highlights Quenton Nelson

It’s hard for an offensive guard to become a player that changes the direction of a franchise.  Yet, after being taken sixth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, Quenton Nelson has done exactly that for the Indianapolis Colts.

It’s hard for an offensive guard to become a player that changes the direction of a franchise.  Yet, after being taken sixth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, Quenton Nelson has done exactly that for the Indianapolis Colts.

After countless highlight blocks and dominating plays while at Notre Dame, Nelson made an immediate impact in Indianapolis last season.

NFL Films did a feature on Nelson, finding video from his youth and playing various sports long before his days at Notre Dame, that show you a side of him you’ve never seen.

The Colts don’t appear to be headed back to the post-season this year but for some reason I have a strong belief that they’ll be right back to being a contender again next year when they enter the season on opening day with a much better setup at quarterback than the way they entered this season.

Until next time, RUN THE DAMN BALL.
