Two way player for the Irish. One of the last to do so. Also dabbled playing in the Irish backfield. One of the greats.

  • Greatest tight end from ND? Macafee, Casper, Bavaro Fasano? [NT] - DonMiller - 9:06am 11/6/25 (22) [View All]
    • Drafted ND Tight End since and including Dave Casper via the Perplexity AI engine. [LINK] - SteveM - 7:29pm 11/6/25
    • In College MacAfee and Mayer in the Pro's Casper and Bavaro [NT] - Rocketman84 - 12:06pm 11/6/25
      • I like the breakdown! - jamie - 3:53pm 11/6/25
      • That's decent logic. Casper voted the best Tight End in the 70's decade, Bavaro made a - THEISMANCARR - 12:45pm 11/6/25
    • Bavaria. Impossible to bring down. [NT] - Terry44 - 11:32am 11/6/25
      • I believe Bavaria fell on November 7th, 1918... [IMAGE] - TakethetrainKnute - 11:35am 11/6/25
        • well done [NT] - weisguy19 - 1:44pm 11/6/25
    • I sure loved watching Mayer. He was the only option for Pyne that year and could have had bigger - FoolBear - 11:16am 11/6/25
      • Mayer was great, but Pyne had plenty of options - ndunabomber - 12:16pm 11/6/25
        • That was my point. Mayer was Pyne's only option, not because of skill player talent on the team but - FoolBear - 12:30pm 11/6/25
    • Casper easily although we never threw much. MacAfee 2nd but clearly dominant in his day. Bavaro - THEISMANCARR - 10:34am 11/6/25
    • College only: MacAfee fits any era. Clear #1 to me. Eifert/Casper best of each era - Turkish - 10:11am 11/6/25
    • It's obviously Hart - but since I never saw Leon play - I've always been partial MacAfee [NT] - murph92675 - 10:08am 11/6/25
      • Different era and before the position was really establidhedy [NT] - Rocketman84 - 12:11pm 11/6/25
    • You gotta have Hart. [NT] - Hensou - 9:14am 11/6/25
      • Young people don't know who that is. Hint: Heisman Trophy, Male Athlete of the Year. 1949. - ELP - 9:34am 11/6/25
        • I think the issue with Hart is that the position and game was unrecognizable to the modern eye - Turkish - 10:17am 11/6/25
          • Hart was 6'5" 257 lbs. The only lineman to win three college football NCs plus 3 NFL championships. - Hensou - 11:50am 11/6/25
            • Hart = Stud. No argument from me. One-platoon football was a different game [NT] - Turkish - 12:14pm 11/6/25
      • Thanks. I forgot about Leon. Won the Maxwell and heisman [NT] - DonMiller - 9:30am 11/6/25
        • Dreaming about BK again? [NT] - whatsamataU - 1:25pm 11/6/25
          • Always thought a lot of Bob Kemp [NT] [LINK] - DonMiller - 2:24pm 11/6/25
