Notre Dame Alums in the NFL

There was a great article written the other day about Rema McKnight, the former Notre Dame wide receiver who graduated this year. Though he was disappointed that he did not get drafted by an NFL team, he has been contacted by the New Orleans Saints, who are trying him out for a spot on their roster. The odds are probably not the best, but you can be sure that McKnight’s experience as a Fighting Irish player is helping him to compete against the other young hopefuls in the Saints’ training camp.

McKnight was Brady Quinn’s go-to guy while on the Irish. He ended his career with a total of 170 receptions, but was passed up during the draft probably because of his size. Though you can no longer get Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets to see Rema McKnight, you might soon be able to go to StubHub.com to see him play for and NFL team.
