Notre Dame's junior tight end, Kyle Rudolph, declared he would be entering the NFL draft after missing half of his season due to a hamstring injury.  Rudolph has been widely speculated not only because of his skill but because of his tendency to get injured.  Teams have to be careful in picking an injury prone player, but Rudolph is out to show them that he is definitely worth the risk.
