Six Notre Dame Players Go In 2013 NFL Draft

The Fightin' Irish had SIX players taken in the 2013 NFL Draft;  Tyler Eifert (#21 -- Bengals), Manti Te'o (#38 -- Chargers), Jamoris Slaughter (#175 -- Browns), Theo Riddick (#199 -- Lions), Kapron Lewis-Moore (#200 -- Ravens) and Zeke Motta (#244 -- Falcons).

Cierre Wood -- who still had a year of eligibility left, not drafted.

I suspect we'll soon learn about a few more of the seniors signing "free-agent" contracts in the next 24 hours...

CONGRATULATIONS!
