Jimmy Chitwood
Hall of Famer
Notre Dame has an emerging bunch of talented players at the skill positions. three VERY good guys are catching the ball: WRs Matt Shelton (a senior) and Jeff Samardzija (a junior) and TE Anthony Fasano (senior). Samardzija is 6'5" and is 2nd on the team in receptions and yards, and 1st in TDs with 5 already. Shelton is recognized as the fastest receiver on the roster and the Irish's best deep threat. Fasano is a rare talent at tight end: he can catch, run, and block.
of course Brady Quinn is slinging them the ball, and new head coach Charlie Wesi thinks he can become a great one.
on the other side of the ball, Tom Zbikowski is not only tough as nails, but also has corner speed at the strong safety position. in fact, he was a first team All-American in high school as a corner and runs a 10.4 100 meters. he's a big-time playmaker, and also returns punts.
