There are 5 Notre Dame players still on the board that would make excellent day 3 picks or UDFA's for the Steelers.
3 of them Team Captains...which to me says something.

KYREN WILLIAMS, RUNNING BACK​

Williams left Notre Dame with two seasons of eligibility remaining, which followed back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. The former Irish standout has good film and he's a quality all-around back, with one of the best pass game skillsets in the draft at running back. His lack of ideal size was combined with a poor testing performance, which has apparently driven down his draft stock.

KEVIN AUSTIN, WIDE RECEIVER​

Austin is a very intriguing player that possesses outstanding physical tools (size, speed, explosiveness) and some flashes of big time ability (18.5 yards per catch in 2021) with some really ugly film. Austin has all the physical tools of a day two pick, but his overall lack of nuance at wide receiver combines with his injury history/lack of experience to drop him down further than his talent should dictate.

MYRON TAGOVAILOA-AMOSA, DEFENSIVE LINE​

Tagovailoa-Amosa spent most of his Notre Dame career playing inside, but his body is better suited for the edge. He's a quality run defender that could play in a four-down and possibly as a rotational role in a three-down look. Tagovailoa-Amosa has tremendous leadership and was a well-respected team captain for the Irish.

KURT HINISH, DEFENSIVE TACKLE​

I've only seen Hinish projected as an undrafted free agent, and to make matters worse only five interior players have been selected through three rounds. Hinish is very experienced and was a high-motor two-time captain for Notre Dame. Despite a strong Pro Day performance there isn't a lot of buzz about Hinish being picked. Hopefully a team or two falls in love with his motor, experience, work ethic and character and decides to pick him.

DREW WHITE - LINEBACKER​

White posted quality athletic numbers at Notre Dame's Pro Day and he was a team captain. The Florida native is a three-year starter for the Irish who racked up 199 tackles and 21.5 tackles for loss during his career. He's a high character player and a leader, but his lack of size and injury history have him projected as an undrafted free agent.
