2023 Receiving Projections
Niklas will forego his senior season to enter the 2014 NFL Draft, Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Niklas took over Notre Dame's starting tight end job in 2013, finishing with 32 receptions for 498 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games. While he isn't the equal of his predecessor, Tyler Eifert, Niklas still figures to come off the board at some point during May's draft. At 6-foot-7, 270 pounds, there's no doubt that he has the size to play tight end in the NFL. In fact, he's so big that if things don't work out at tight end, Niklas could consider a move to offensive tackle.
