NCAAF News: Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard sends a brutal warning ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft

After falling just short of the title in the NCAAF, Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB Riley Leonard is eagerly anticipating his arrival in the NFL.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish came close to claiming the NCAAF title, but they were stopped by a formidable Buckeyes team that dashed their championship hopes. Riley Leonard was one of the standout players for Marcus Freeman’s squad, and after declaring himself eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft, the QB is sending a warning about the mentality he brings to the field when it comes to handling games.

Leonard made the decision to take the next step in his career and will be one of the quarterbacks eligible for the upcoming draft. When asked by the media about what lies ahead, the former Fighting Irish player made it clear that while he still has much to improve, he possesses a strong mindset to tackle the challenges ahead.

“I think I have a lot to prove over the next few months. I’m a whatever-it-takes to win type of guy and I think being able to use my legs in college helped my team win, so that’s what I did,” Leonard stated to the press. “But if that means staying in the pocket, and I gotta work on some mechanical things but anything I put my mind to, I think I can accomplish.”
