Early life and college
[edit]Noteboom was born in Plano, Texas. He attended Plano Senior High School, where he played football and ice hockey. He verbally committed to Texas Christian University in the summer before his senior year at Plano, during which he earned All-District honors for the Wildcats.[1]
At TCU, Noteboom redshirted in his first season on campus in Fort Worth and played in 13 games as a reserve in 2014.

His final collegiate game, which was also his 40th consecutive start, was a win over Stanford in the 2017 Alamo Bowl.[2]
Professional career
[edit]Pre-Draft
[edit]On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Noteboom had accepted his invitation to play in the Senior Bowl.[3] He impressed scouts and analysts by showcasing his versatility and athleticism during Senior Bowl practices which helped raise his draft stock.[4] On January 27, 2018, Noteboom played in the 2018 Reese's Senior Bowl and was part of Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien's South team that defeated Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph's North team 45–16. Noteboom attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and completed all of the combine and positional drills. His combine performance was widely considered a success among scouts due to his 40-yard dash time and displays of agility.[5]

He attended private visits and workouts with the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.[6] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Noteboom was projected to be a third round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the seventh best offensive tackle in the draft by Scouts Inc., was ranked the eighth best offensive tackle by DraftScout.com, and was ranked the 12th best offensive tackle in the draft by Sports Illustrated.[7][8][9]
