Easily a top 5 player. In fact, I truly believe that he is having a season that should provide him a seat in New York for a certain ceremony that occurs in December. Of course, if that award truly went to the best player, guys like Orlando Pace and Manti would have hoisted that trophy instead of the best or flashiest offensive player in their respective years...

Both Q and Big Mike need only 1 more 1st Team designation to become the next two consensus All Americans for Notre Dame Football.

FWAA > News > 2017 FWAA All-America Team

With the FWAA now naming Q and McGlinchey 1st Team All Americans, Quenton and Mike are the two latest consensus All Americans in Notre Dame football history

I believe he did get it in 2015, along with Ronnie.

 

[irishknight35]

I believe he did get it in 2015, along with Ronnie.

They both were Consensus All Americans but Jaylon was definitely robbed of Unanimous All American status by being 2nd team on one of the last All American lists needed if I remember correctly.

Awesome for Q!!

 

[STLDomer]

Too early for a prayer thread he doesn’t end up in Cleveland with that #4 overall pick?

 

[jspags10pg]

Too early for a prayer thread he doesn’t end up in Cleveland with that #4 overall pick?

He will dominate whoever, wherever he plays. But for the sake of his team winning games...then no, it's not too early.

Q might be my favorite player to wear the gold helmet. No matter what was going on elsewhere is the game you could always watch Q and be proud and smile while he was demoralizing whoever was lined up across from him. Plus he's just a quiet and humble guy. No smack talk or stupid gestures...just a dude who did work and did his job as well as anyone I can remember. Zack Martin was the same way and is my other "co-favorite". Wish every guy played the game the way those two do.

From Albert Breer:

And the third of the top-three overall prospects is a guard. That’s right, a guard. Notre Dame’s Quenton Nelson is probably the most agreed upon prospect that I’ve discussed with scouts. When I told an exec last week that I’d probably write that Nelson was “maybe a better guard prospect than ex-teammate Zack Martin,” he told me to take the “maybe” out of there. In 2014, Martin, you may remember, became the first rookie linemen to make first-team All-Pro in 57 years. I had Nelson going fifth in my mock.

From Albert Breer:

Awesome. Wonder if comments are still trollish

 

[Old Man Mike]

Let's just make Q and Zach the two best recent OLinemen to come out and not say one is better than the other. ZMart is still The Eraser.

What would be great (and very possible) to happen is that pro commentators began regularly linking Q and ZMart in their game talk as the two best --- BIG good publicity for ND and Harry.

 

[Irish#1]

I read that earlier today. High praise, but deservingly so. My favorite player on this years team. Just punched that clock and went to work. I have no idea how good of a pro he will be, but I have a feeling he's going to do all right.

 

[ND88]

Selfishly, I wish he stayed another seaon.

He will be noticeably missed next year.

But there's big money to be made.

Go get it, young man.

That's LSU's All-American LB Devin White he pancaked on the 2-point conversion.
