Mt. Alt appears at the summit

It’s hard to find a place that compares to Notre Dame when it comes to putting elite offensive line talent into the NFL. [autotag]Zack Martin[/autotag], [autotag]Quenton Nelson[/autotag], [autotag]Ronnie Stanley[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike McGlinchey[/autotag] are some of the NFL stars (and well-paid ones at that) who once called Notre Dame home.

It would appear we’re not far off from another Notre Dame offensive lineman joining that club. Earlier this month our very own Mike Chen looked at the 2024 NFL mock drafts. Almost unanimously, left tackle Joe Alt was a projected top 10 pick.

Pro Football Focus shared its 10 highest-rated returning offensive linemen for 2023 over the weekend and wouldn’t you know it, Alt was atop the list.

Below are the 10 highest-rated returning offensive tackles according to Pro Football Focus. You’ll likely be interested to know that Notre Dame right tackle [autotag]Blake Fisher[/autotag] did not make the list. He checked in with a 72.9 grade over 13 games.
