Notre Dame players have recently had the benefit of meeting with a couple of former NFL stars. New tight ends coach John McNulty arranged a meeting with Hall of Famer Kurt Warner a week or so ago and earlier this week he had a video conference arranged for his tight ends with former Irish great, Anthony Fasano.
Running game coordinator Lance Taylor who we’ve discussed for his connections at length already this week, arranged another meeting Friday, this time with his stable of running backs.

A couple thoughts here from Shaun Alexander talking to a room of Notre Dame running backs.
I wasn’t able to legally drink when Alexander won his MVP in 2005 and am now 34. I wonder if the players on this call are aware of how great he was considering they were all probably about six or seven years old in Alexander’s prime.
How great would it be to be able to have a giant poster of yourself on the Madden cover to put up in your home office? Power move.
If you’ve forgotten, go check out Alexander’s career numbers. He averaged more than a touchdown a game over a five year span.
Also noteworthy is the former Notre Dame running back who is looking to get drafted next week that regrets not jumping on the call today.
I should’ve joined the zoom call 😂😂

It’s cool to see Notre Dame taking advantage of this strange time and making the best of a bad situation. Now we’re curious what former NFL star will be next to meet with a one of the 2020 squad’s positional groups.
