Khalid Kareem Pro Day, sort of....

Hope this guy can develop. Honestly, I didn't watch much ND football these past few years, so I'm looking at his NFL draft profile. Seems like he's got a limited ceiling, as one of the knocks on him is that he lacks explosiveness. Hopefully his floor will at least be as a solid, rotational player.
