5. player. 819. . . . Liam Eichenberg, Notre Dame

Here’s someone this Philadelphia Eagles backfield can get behind.

If you’re a die-hard football fan, you know this already. If you’re a casual fan, you may need some initiation, so here goes. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is college football’s version of the Dallas Cowboys. You love them, or you hate them. There is no gray area, and like the Cowboys, sometimes, guys are overhyped because they played there, Remember Manti Te’o?

Yes, football fans. That is probably the last time you’ll ever hear Liam Eichenberg and  Manti Te’o mentioned in the same vein. The hype is real with Eichenberg though. For any NFL team looking for an offensive tackle, their scouts should have this six-foot-six, 305-pound prospect in their top ten of the best guys available.

He’s had a nice showing during the 2020 college football season so far, Expect him to come off of draft boards sometime during the selection meeting’s second day. He’s shown a lot of improvement after having a decent though less-than-spectacular campaign in 2019.
