Chase Claypool became the newest member of the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday night as the black and yellow picked the Notre Dame wide receiver 49th overall.
Claypool had a monster final season at Notre Dame as he secured 66 receptions for 1037 yards and 13 touchdowns. His collegiate career finished with a game MVP performance in Notre Dame’s Camping World Bowl win over Iowa State.

Claypool also took home Team MVP honors for the 11-2 Notre Dame football team. He wasn’t a star right away at Notre Dame but was as good as any offensive player on the Irish roster over his last year and a half.
