Now that the 2023 season has completely come to an end its a good time to look back at the year that was.
For Notre Dame, that meant a return to having a truly elite college running back.
Yes, Notre Dame has had some really good backs in recent years but it’s difficult to put any in quite some time in the same level of [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag] in 2023. Estime was the lead-back for the Irish and ran for over 1,300 yards, a number that could have threatened 1,500 if he were to have gotten 2-3 more carries a game.
Just how good was Estime in 2023? Pro Football Focus released their top-10 graded running backs across college football for the year and you can see for yourself just how well he stacked up.
