Derrick Mayes: Notre Dame Football’s Most Underrated Receiver?

As is likely the case for sports fans all over the country, I’ve been dealing with my time away from work and sports by watching games and clips from earlier generations. There has been a lot of discussion on Twitter about everyone’s favorite players, all-time teams, etc. and when listing my favorite players on offense I listed the name of Derrick Mayes alongside Will Fuller at receiver.

To be clear, this was simply a list of favorites, not necessarily best, and Mayes’ career ranged from my ages of 11-14, around the time I was really following every game, taping games, re-watching games and all that fun stuff.
