Few players in the last 30 years have been as beloved of members of the Notre Dame football team as [autotag]Tom Zbikowski[/autotag]. The product from Buffalo Grove High School in Illinois was responsible for as many memorable highlight plays as any Irish player from 2004-2007.
Not only did he make big plays, he did them in the biggest of games. When you look at a list of who he scored his seven career touchdowns against (all on punt or turnover returns) and you see the likes of Michigan State, USC, Penn State, and Tennessee. He did against the biggest of opponents.
Zbikowski went on to play in the NFL from 2008-2013 while also keeping a foot in his boxing career and at one point being a Chicago fire fighter.
Happy birthday to Zibby who turns 38 today!
