Stanley and Martin look to carry on the example set by NFL predecessors.
The position group projected to be Notre Dame’s best for the 2015 season likewise appears to be its most vocal. Offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and his front wall pupils are physical, aggressive, and not afraid to make their feelings known, both to each other, and their defensive mates.
Hiestand has the luxury of his best leaders also ranking as his best players, but oddly, those resonating voices employ their trades not in South Bend. but in Dallas and San Diego, respectively.
Leadership in this case hasn’t only trickled down, but permeated the unit.
