Michael Floyd will be back in South Bend next year, returning to Notre Dame for his senior season.
2011 NFL Draft: Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd Returning For Senior Year
Facing a stacked 2011 NFL Draft class at wide receiver and an uncertain labor climate in the NFL, Floyd likely decided he would have a better chance of being the first receiver selected in the draft in a year without A.J. Green and Julio Jones.
Floyd has had a superb career at Notre Dame. Despite an injury that sidelined him for much of 2009, he already holds the school record for touchdown receptions with 28, and is second in catches and third in receiving yards.
And, we should remember, Notre Dame has had receivers like Tim Brown and Raghib "Rocket" Ismail.
Floyd should bolster a Notre Dame outfit that could be very good in 2011. Brian Kelly's offense clicked at the end of 2010, and no matter who takes snaps for the Fighting Irish — Dayne Crist will return from injury, but may have to battle Tommy Rees for the starting job — Floyd figures to be a fixture in other teams' end zones all fall.
