According to the blog "LoserWithSocks" , Notre Dame running back Darius Walker, who was picked up as a free agent by the Chicago Bears, is angry that he wasn't drafted.
“Shocked, shocked,” he said Tuesday, when asked to describe his general reaction. “It’s kind of hard to believe, to be honest with you. How does a guy that’s fourth on the all-time rushing list for Notre Dame not get drafted?”
And it’s good to see that Walkers father has stayed rational about the situation.
“Even if he ran a 4.7, he should have been drafted,” he said. “To me, as a father, he deserved to be drafted very highly. I’m not even talking about the second day. I was disappointed he didn’t go the first day. He deserved to be on the first day."
It's true that Walker was lost amoung the 7 Notre Dame players that were selected in what Irish fans are calling their best NFL Draft in decades. I might remind everyone that all of the player selected were recruited by Tyrone Willingham and not Charlie Weis.
