ESPN’s Jordan Reid has 6 Notre Dame players as NFL draft prospects
ND has plenty of standout players that could get their names called in the 2027 NFL draft. ESPN's Jordan Reid believes 6 players have potential.
ESPN analyst Jordan Reid has identified six Notre Dame players as NFL draft prospects for the 2027 draft, with four of them projected in the first two rounds. Cornerback Leonard Moore is the most highly ranked on the list, with Reid projecting him as the No. 2 overall pick. Moore, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 197 pounds, has shown impressive skills with seven tackles, two pass deflections, and a 0% completion rate from opposing quarterbacks during the first four games of the season.
Coaching Reid remarked that Moore possesses "excellent length, speed, and technique" and is described as a "prototypical cornerback prospect" with the ability to excel in both man and zone coverage. Quarterback CJ Carr is projected as the No. 22 pick, valued for his refined pocket passing ability and decisiveness, although he may fall short of a top-10 pick due to his "average" arm strength.
Other Notre Dame players on the list include safety Brauntae Johnson, edge rusher Boubacar Traore, linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, and guard Anthony Knapp.
