Who is your favorite Irish Receiver?  I'm a Tim Brown fan myself, but this guy made a game exciting too.

Hard to argue with Tate.  I may have to go with Michael Floyd.  IMO the best pure receiver I've seen in an Irish uniform, tough as nails, great blocker, and heck of a catch radius.  Got to see him in person for my first game at ND, vs Navy in 2011.

All good. Found an angle. Didn't want to just count Jersey numbers so its All-Americans with a few stops along the way

Every player that gets NIL should thank Knute Rockne. First coach to let cameras inside of practice. A legendary voice and marketer who won both on and off the field

Quote

"Carry yer bag, Mr. Rockne?", the curly-haired moppet would ask, reaching for Knute's gear and a free entry to Tiger Stadium in Massillon, Ohio. Knute Rockne was a star for the professional Massillon Tigers in those days - and his bag-toter was a wisp of a lad named Harry Stuhldreher. Fate had drawn the two together and fate would bring them mutual immortality, for not too many years later when Stuhldreher followed Rockne's star to South Bend, Indiana. Stuhldreher would emerge as the quarterback in the famed Four Horsemen backfield which dazzled opponents and left an indelible mark upon the pages of gridiron history. "As a freshman, Harry had the most promise of the Four Horsemen," Rockne was to claim. "He sounded the leader on the field." Leadership! It was a Rockne trademark, and it became the one characteristic in young Harry Stuhldreher which convinced the Irish coach to make him his signal-caller. Although Harry was the smallest of the Horsemen at 5-7 and 151 pounds, he was equally as fast and shifty as the others - the ideal quarterback with a sound grasp of the game. He was head coach at Villanova 1925-35 and Wisconsin 1936-48 with a combined record of 110-87- 15.
