Troy Pride, Jr. was a fantastic corner at Notre Dame the last couple of seasons. He may not have finished with huge interception numbers but he wasn’t a guy that was really ever picked on by opposing quarterbacks, either.
Pride was drafted by new head coach of the Carolina Panthers, Matt Rhule over the weekend in the draft’s fourth round. Pride had a video meeting with Rhule recently that left with Rhule not being the only person impressed in his household.

Pride is a big believer in himself, and after getting drafted shared the following:
“I’m a competitive peach…my will to win is higher than a lot of individuals. My competitive edge is always going to keep me with any athlete that I play against and any system I play in.”
Good luck to Pride in Carolina, a team that looks to be trying to revamp/load up on defense.
