Today's scouting report looks at a prospect that was so far off Notre Dame's and the NFL's radar 4 years ago that it's a testament to hard work and perseverance that this safety is in a position to possibly earn a paycheck playing professionally.

The 2017 NFL Draft is officially in the books and it was a humbling weekend for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish who had to experience one more aftershock from a poor football season and a relatively small group of prospects eager to hear their names called.
