The Los Angeles Chargers selected Alt with the fifth overall pick, making him the highest-drafted Irish player since quarterback Rick Mirer, whom Seattle drafted second overall in 1993. This year, only quarterback Caleb Williams, quarterback Jayden Daniels, quarterback Drake Maye and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. went off the board sooner than Alt to start the first round.

I can’t be the only one who has noticed the little white labels scattered around campus. I thought society was against labeling these days, but that hasn’t stopped whoever is behind this scheme.
