Irish in the NFL: Week 4
When a collegiate football program is as legendary and historic as Notre Dame, having players not just make it to the National Football League, but succeed, isn't a surprise; it's expected. This season is no different, as the Irish have 47 players who are on an active 53-man roster. Each week this season, the Irish Tribune will showcase the top NFL performers who once excelled on Saturdays.
