'23 FL ATH Jordan Faison (Notre Dame Signee)

[Irish#1]

I'm curious to see how he performs now that teams have some film on him.

 

[Green Mountains]

ND Lax was one of ESPNs Top 10. Number 14 was in the mix....but he made the pass, he didn't take the no look shot. But in the highlight, it's all #14.

Some guys are just good at everything. Even if they don't look the part, a lot of walk on or lower level football guys are just built different and will succeed at everything they do. Back when i was in high school, a football player who ended up being a D1 walk on to scholarship guy grinded ping pong, worked hard, and became unbeatable in a short amount of time. That work ethic plus inate skill is what makes champions.

I’ve got a good friend that’s great at everything. He out lifts, golfs, runs, and out rides me. Back in the day he was better than me at football, baseball, and hockey.

The only things I beat him at are shooting and drinking!

Eventually, you're gonna be too old to play football, basketball and hockey.

You're never too old to shoot and drink, so you got that going for you.

Couple friends of mine are the same. Neither played football and probably wouldn’t have been very good, but they can both shoot a three and put in within 10 feet from 100 yards out.

You just described my younger brother but switch shooting and lifting. Also change out baseball for basketball

At least those two skills will carry you further in life.

I don't see a lot of corners being able to hang with him man on man coverage. His speed, route running, and shiftiness are bigtime. Only a stud corner could maybe. Faison oozes superstar potential. An absolute felony he didn't play more last year, especially early in the year. Cannot wait to see him and this offense.

Heck yeah!
I told him I won the war of attrition last night!

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I hope Jordan has enough 'off-season' to work on S&C and continue to develop physically. It's got to be draining playing 2 contact sports with all of that cutting/change of direction and impact.

Look forward to seeing what he can do in year 2.

Is 20 goals a lot in a lacrosse season?

Not if you're a main attackman but Faison is an offensive midfielder. Only plays about half the time we have the ball. He's about our fourth or fifth option offensively so as a freshman that's terrific.
He'll be a 3 time all american in Lax if he stays committed to the program.

Crazy to be a 3 time all American in lacrosse and football...

 

[T-Boone]

What does the highest paid pro lacrosse player get per season?

 

[FDNYIrish1]

20 goals is great for a true freshman midfielder who has drawn the long pole every game over the 12th pick in the PLL draft. He’s done a great job in his role as a complementary option.

 

[GoIrish41]

What does the highest paid pro lacrosse player get per season?

Minimum wage?

 

[CanadalovesND]

Minimum wage?

There is only a 450k salary cap. Average salary per player rounds up to around 20k. There is a vet minimum of 15k, and vet maximum of 30k. Rookies only make 10k when they enter the league.

The NLL schedule is only 18 games, so the average player makes just over a 1k a game. I assume most of the players have a second job to supplement their income for the rest of the calendar year. It's actually more likely that lacrosse is their second job.

Thanks, Faison should win a ship this year and then focus solely on football for a few years.

Screw lacrosse then, he should focus on football

 

[IrishLax]

PLL players get around $50k/year not counting endorsements, etc. Best players make into six figures. Many also do the indoor league which is $20k-$30k.

So it’s not a lot. You obviously make a ton more in the NFL. Most guys who are professional lacrosse players supplement income with coaching, camps, or private training of some sort.

Even more impressive when put in context that the Freshman of the year had about 30 goals.

If Notre Dame named an athlete of the year Faison would win it this year. He has impressed on the football & lacrosse field.

 

[Valpodoc85]

This kid is quickly moving toward legend status

 

[OKCDomer23]

Great ESPN article. Eager to see what Faison does this year on the football field. No doubt he can get open and is elusive.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

This dude was really coming on at the end of last year. Potential is sky high.

The word is now out but I’m hoping he can hit, or even surpass, Will Fuller levels of production.

Seriously? I like Faison as much as anyone but 6-700 yards and 7 or 8 tds would be a really good year. Fuller put up 2 years over 1000 and around 15 tds each year.

We also won't have quite as good of a passer, and more mouths to feed.

 

[Irish4life]

Really cool feature on how Lacrosse transfers to different sports, Faison heavily featured
