PFF: Four ND players in 101 best 2020 CFB player list. by G.K.Chesterton

Note: Alabama had eight, Oklahoma had six, and Ohio State had five, but Clemson had only one listed.

36. T LIAM EICHENBERG, NOTRE DAME
Notre Dame may have fallen short in the College Football Playoff semifinal, but Eichenberg performed better than any tackle has against Alabama's ferocious defensive front this season, generating an 87.9 PFF grade for the game. That wasn't much different from what Eichenberg did all year long. He finished as the sixth-most valuable tackle in the FBS and earned a fringe-elite PFF grade of 89.9.

38. LB JEREMIAH OWUSU-KORAMOAH, NOTRE DAME
Owusu-Koramoah was a game-changer serving as the rover in the Fighting Irish defense. He shined in every single facet of play, but especially so in coverage. In that role, Owusu-Koramoah predominantly manned the slot, from which he earned the third-highest coverage grade in the FBS. He allowed only five first downs across 200 slot coverage snaps in 2020 with an interception, four forced incompletions and four passing stops.

56. T ROBERT HAINSEY, NOTRE DAME
Hainsey bounced back in a big way this year from a 2019 season-ending ankle injury. The beefier lines of Pittsburgh and Alabama gave him some fits, but we have few bones to pick with how Hainsey performed from start to finish. He earned an 89.6 PFF grade this season that ranked sixth among all FBS right tackles, and he was one of three Power Five players to earn grades above 80.0 as both a pass-blocker and a run-blocker.

68. G AARON BANKS, NOTRE DAME
Banks closed out his season with a hiccup against Christian Barmore and the monstrous Alabama defensive front, but he still remained one of two Power 5 guards to produce a grade above 80.0 as both a pass- and run-blocker this season. The Notre Dame left guard actually generated more WAA than any other guard in the FBS this season.
