I feel sorry for Kyle Rudolph and his family tonight. The young man did the GOLD HELMET proud, just wish he was wearing it one more season!
What four months ago seemed like a "lock" to be a NFL first round draft pick -- Kyle was not among the 32 first round picks. So, he will wait another 19 hours to learn what helmet he'll wear this fall.
What a shame -- Rudolph deserved much better that this.
Kyle should have stayed one more year at ND and proved he could play 13 games injury free. I wonder how the "experts" who told him he was ready -- feel tonight. Were there any players taken in the 1st round of the NFL Draft that were injured in each of the last two seasons -- injuries that required surgery -- that missed as many games as Kyle?
I truly believe you don't leave early, to get second round money, if you're a Notre Dame football player.
