Michael Mayer had a massive debut season in 2020 as he pulled down 42 receptions for 450 yards and a pair of scores while being a force as a blocker as well. The young man looked more like a seasoned NFL veteran than he did a person who was barely old enough to vote in last November’s election.
Just how good will Mayer be as a sophomore this fall?
Time will tell but during his annual “Herbie’s” preseason awards show longtime college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit called Mayer the best tight end in the game.
Herbstreit mentioned Notre Dame’s use of tight ends being such an old school approach and noted he’s excited to see Mayer after a full year of collegiate workouts as he’ll be bigger, stronger, and faster.
In other words:
Good looking stopping him.
