Summary

Notre Dame football’s 2026 national championship outlook, CJ Carr’s development, breakout spring performers, and NFL Draft projections headline a loaded Friday mailbag episode. Tyler Wojciak breaks it all down, diving into what separates this year’s team from 2025, which players made the biggest jump this spring, how many Irish could be selected early in the NFL Draft, whether defensive concerns are overblown, and the ultimate debate: CJ Carr or Ian Book in a game-winning drive.
