Nation’s best tight end declares for NFL draft
By no means a surprise but newsworthy nonetheless, Notre Dame star tight end Michael Mayer has officially declared for the 2023 NFL draft. Mayer will be expected to be the first tight end selected this coming spring.
For a program that is referred to as “Tight End U”, Mayer has as strong as case as any to be called the best tight end in storied history of Notre Dame football. Mayer holds the program records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns all-time by a Notre Dame tight end.
And might I add, he’s an above average blocker to boot.
The news was expected as Mayer has now played his final down for the Fighting Irish, opting to sit out the December 30 Gator Bowl against South Carolina.

Some NFL team is going to be thrilled when he shows up in their training camp next summer. All the best to the best to ever do it at Tight End U.
