Few players in the extensive history of Notre Dame football have been as beloved or as talented as former linebacker Manti Te'o. The Hawai'i native chose Notre Dame over USC as one of the nation's top recruits in the 2009 cycle, and played a major role in changing Fighting Irish football ever since.
Some athletes reach a level that is so high, a simple mention of just their first name or one-word nickname brings feelings to others. Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger is certainly one of those people at Notre Dame as the 1993 movie portraying him dared countless people to never stop chasing their dreams.
