My Favorite Notre Dame Football Player: Jeff Samardzija

I’ve been watching Notre Dame football for about 20 years now. I still remember the first time I saw them play: October of 1999, watching with my grandfather, I was only 4, but Notre Dame’s comeback against USC is what brought me in.

I’ve watched a lot of Fighting Irish football.

By 2005, I was a hardcore fan. I tried not to miss a game, and Notre Dame was once again becoming an elite team. Of course, Brady Quinn was great, as Carlee pointed out, but there was another guy that jumped out at me, for one handed catches and his ability to get any ball: Quinn’s top target, Jeff Samardzija.
