Almost exactly a year ago, I put together my thoughts on which players on the 2022 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team might end up earning some sort of All-America honors after the season. Needless to say, but your friendly neighborhood dingus Pat Rick did NOT do a super strong job of predicting the best of the best Irish players for the coming season.
Yeah, the obvious guys like Michael Mayer and Isaiah Foskey and Jarrett Patterson had strong seasons, and the mention of Joe Alt landed, but otherwise there were some ROUGH picks under the “Could Play Their Way Into It” and “Dark Horse” categories.
