Former Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds at ND's Pro Day on Thursday.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Xavier Watts will almost certainly be one of the top two Notre Dame players selected in this year's NFL Draft.
But Watts, who many draft analysts have ranked as one of the top three safety prospects in this year's draft class, still needed to complete the testing portion of the pre-draft process after skipping it at the NFL Scouting Combine a month ago.
The 6-foot, 204-pound Watts put a number on his speed with a 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds. That's certainly not a blazing time. Only three of the 15 safeties who ran at the NFL Combine logged a slower time than Watts.
But it's also the same time that former ND safety Kyle Hamilton ran in 2022. Things have worked out pretty well for Hamilton with two Pro Bowl appearances in his first three seasons after the Baltimore Ravens drafted him with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2022 draft.
Notre Dame football has only released limited results from Thursday's Pro Day in the Irish Athletics Center. Inside ND Sports will update this story when the full results are posted. Below are some of the results Notre Dame has highlighted so far.
