Will Fuller had the best statistical season of any sophomore wide receiver in Notre Dame history. (Read that sentence again.)
After a largely anonymous freshman year where Fuller ran mostly “go” patterns, the Philadelphia native put together an All-American caliber campaign. His 15 touchdown catches tied the single-season record set by two guys named Tate and Samardzija (who were both decent baseball players).
Fuller scored touchdowns in just about every manner possible—deep routes, screens and everything in between. So while November’s swoon took the air out of the Irish, Fuller’s elite season was exactly that.
