That's an excellent podcast, and it's great to hear about his experiences.
Ian Book is one of those guys who you can call *THE* man when it comes to Notre Dame.
When people talk about a 3 star player who played at a 5 star level, he's the spitting image of it.
He has a great head on his shoulders, and has a very realistic view of the game, as well as what his future holds, or doesn't hold. He knows that he's not likely to be a 10 year starting QB in the NFL, and lives in the moment.
He doesn't embellish things, and tells it straight up like it is.
