Current New York Giants defensive back Julian Love was one of the best defensive backs Notre Dame has ever had previous to becoming an NFL draft pick in 2019. Love took home consensus All-American honors in 2018 and declared for the draft early after being a continual playmaker for the Fighting Irish for three seasons.
His interception return for a touchdown against Michigan State helped set the foundation for a year that saw a major turnaround at Notre Dame and he was as good of a defensive back as there was in all of college football his junior season.
Love celebrates his 24th birthday today as he’ll be entering his fourth season with the Giants this fall. He’s one of three Notre Dame greats alongside Quenton Nelson and Rick Mirer, who are all celebrating birthdays today.
To celebrate Love, take a quick look back at a few of his best photos and moments at Notre Dame.
