W
hat you see isn't necessarily
what you get with Notre Dame
defensive tackle Rylie Mills.
Sometimes it is. Not always.
What you see: a 6-foot-5, 295-pound
behemoth of a human. A player capable
of insane, imposing individual efforts in
sacking quarterbacks, leading to losses of
double-digit yards for opposing offenses.
There was no better example than the one
he pulled off against Stanford in Week 7.
AFFECTING
EVERYTHING
In remembrance of tragedy, Notre Dame's
Rylie Mills empowers the people closest
to him — and everyone else
Mills is more than just a football player. He
is someone who makes a profound impact
on everyone around him.
