Notre Dame football has continued its nautical theme from last year. But instead of “burn the boats,” the motto for offseason workouts appears to be “leaders eat last.”
Players met last week with Navy SEAL team members, according to Coach Brian Kelly, and then performed a series of team building exercises on water that included giant rafts and oars. Senior safety Max Redfield, redshirt junior DeShone Kizer and senior defensive tackle Jarron Jones were three of the eight boat captains.
This morning, Notre Dame football is documenting its organized team activities on its Snapchat account, ndfbrecruiting. In the most recent picture, the new motto can be seen: “Leaders Eat Last” with a pair of crossed oars.
