You thought the position previews were over? Bold of you to presume since we haven’t even gotten to the real heroes: the specialists*.
*NOTE: By “specialists,” I’m only referring to players who either snap or kick the ball. But for the sake of covering all my bases, running back Chris Tyree and safety Brandon Joseph are Notre Dame’s first-team kickoff and punt returners, respectively.
For this final edition of One Foot Down’s preseason position previews, I’m getting back to my theatrical roots and comparing Notre Dame’s specialists to William Shakespeare’s plays.
