The MVG was on Notre Dame’s offense line according to PFF

The second Notre Dame player to be recognized by Pro Football Focus as the best at their position in the country is guard Aaron Banks.

The season is over and although some awards have already been giving out, Pro Football Focus is still going over their data and handing out individual recognition. Yesterday, Kyle Hamilton was named their MVS (Most Valueable Safety) and today it was Irish guard Aaron Banks turn to be spotlighted.

Banks led the way for a Notre Dame rushing attack that saw Kyren Williams go for over 1,100-yards and his backup, Chris Tyree run for almost 500-yards in limited duty. Banks and his offensive line mates finished in the top 3 for the Joe Moore Award, given annually to the best unit up front.

Banks helped Notre Dame rush for 222-yards a game, while piling up 33 scores on the ground. Unfortunately for the Irish, Banks has elected to move on and will play in the NFL next year, declining the extra year the NCAA has given all their fall sport athletes. We will be watching Banks on Sunday’s from here on out, but what a great career he had in the Blue and Gold.
