The reluctant superstar

Will Fuller will step into a different kind of spotlight this season. He’d rather avoid that glare, but it’s unavoidable after breaking out last fall.

Credit Malik Zaire for training camp’s best player-to-player comparison.

When Notre Dame’s starting quarterback was asked to frame Will Fuller’s reluctant star status within the program, Zaire got creative. He added 100 pounds and a half-foot to his go-to target. And in comparing Fuller to former two-time captain and eventual first-round pick Zack Martin, Zaire paid a supreme compliment to the receiver.

“I just think a lot of it is he’s not a self-proclaiming type of guy,” Zaire said.
