'20 KY TE Michael Mayer (Notre Dame Signee)

[CanadalovesND]

How can Bowers be on the Lombardi award list?

It's an award for FREAKING LINEMAN.

I'm thinking Bowers must be shagging some fresh divorcee on the award list committee.

What's even more shocking is the highest graded OL, Alt, isn't even on it. Who the fuck puts these lists together?

Just like Mason not being on the assistant coach list. It's crazy.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Just looked at his profile picture on this opening page. It is straight comedy seeing how skinny he looks.

 

[IrishLax]

Brock Bowers clearly has some money/vote rigging behind him. It's the only explanation. He in no way is a "top lineman" or a "top receiver". Worse stats than Mayer and will get drafted later too.

 

[Riddickulous]

If he gets shafted for the Mackey again, we riot.

 

[greyhammer90]

He's going to. The fix is so obviously in for Bowers.

 

[NorthDakota]

I won't rule out committing war crimes.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

It's a popularity contest ever year. I feel like we have these same unfortunate discussion every season about these snubs. Alt not being a finalist is an absolute joke, Mayer is clearly the best TE in the nation and that will be reflected next April, yet here we are again.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I can't wait until he runs a 4.7 or 4.8 at the combine and they start the BS that he's too slow to play in the league.

College football individual awards are the absolute worst. All of the sudden Caleb Williams is the Heisman front runner because of one Saturday night in November where people got to see him.

The secondary position awards are even worse. It's all regionally biased voting.

absolutely, Mayer has no chance of getting it

 

[CanadalovesND]

Mayer does have some hops, though. I wouldn't be surprised if he is one of the best testers in the vertical and long jump in Indy.

IIRC Mayer has run his 40 around 4.65. Gronk ran a 4.7 and Kelce a 4.61...There's a lot more to a TE than 40 times, but you're probably right that some of the pundits will see it and question.

I doubt NFL executives will give it much thought, though, when they see his frame at ~270, his route running abilities, NFL ready blocker and the best hands at his position in the country.

He has first round draft grades across the board but TEs are funny...tough to predict. I think he goes it the first round but likely between 15-25.

 

[NDPhilly]

I bet Mike cuts 10 pounds between the end of the year and the combine. Needs to test well to be a mid first round pick.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Agree....whoever trained Boykin, Claypool, and Austin for the 40 he needs to be in touch with.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

So is Bowers gonna be the first two-time Mackey Award winner? That’s ridiculous. He’s a great player but the fact that they’re making him a finalist for every offensive award is…offensive.

 

[irishff1014]

When and where does his statue go?

 

[IRISHDODGER]

The Utah TE pulled in 16 receptions vs SC. Trojans fans have been dreading Michael Mayer ever since that game.

 

[Henges24]

Michael Mayers last game in an Notre Dame uniform. It’s going to cool to watch him go out stomping the condoms in classic fashion.

Not to mention how he will interview. He will impress the shit out of the GM’s he sits with.

They’ll be hypnotized by his smoldering hood looks.

I'd be kind of shocked if he could run a 4.65 at his current weight. (265?) He's quicker than fast, to quote that guy.

I’ll bet he has a great car!

Utah also has a qb

 

[irishff1014]

Utah also has a qb

Lol we have 4 of them just one is injured.

I totally busted my wife walking by the tv during a game while MM was on the sideline and she TOTALLYdid a double take and stop.

Maybe you should take the hint and get yourself to a chiseled 265 lbs, sir.

I’m in the process bro. I have dropped 60lbs in the last four months and working on getting that chin. Lol

What workout do you do to get the chin you want? Just curious.
