Former ND lineman Sam Mustipher has gone from being an undrafted free agent and practice squad player, to being the starting center for the Chicago Bears. And Alex Bars, who also joined the Bears as a UDA last year, is now starting at right guard for the Bears, joining TE Cole Kmet. I've read a couple of stories lauding Mustipher's play, and how he has really turned around the Bears' OL struggles earlier in the year.
Well done, Sam!
Interesting that Sam talks about how he has been able to rely on the "brotherhood" of ND lineman in the NFL to help him elevate his play. Current recruits Rocco Spindler and Blake Fisher also spoke about the OL brotherhood as something that really attracted them to ND. Hopefully the pipeline of great OL recruits will continue.
