Former Notre Dame running back Audric Estime was with the Cleveland Browns for about 20 days before the team cut him on Nov. 2.

On Sunday, Estime – who is now with the New Orleans Saints – made the Browns pay for letting him go. He ran for 72-yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the Saints’ 23-22 overtime victory.

Estime’s rushing score came in the fourth quarter when he ran two yards into the end zone to give New Orleans a 16-13 lead. The ex-Irish speedster averaged 4.8 yards-per-attempt and also had a catch for five yards.

After he was picked in the fifth round by the Denver Broncos in the 2024 NFL draft, Estime bounced from multiple teams’ practice squads, including his first stint with the Saints in 2025.

After the Browns waived Estime, New

Orleans claimed him off waivers on Nov. 3.

Estime compiled 2,321 rushing yards and 29 TDs on 373 carries for Notre Dame in 2021-23. His 18 rushing scores in 2023 set a Fighting Irish single-season record.
