Lamar Jackson

Jackson seems to be one of the top quarterbacks mentioned when it comes to those ready to make the jump to the NFL.  Just how high he goes is still to be determined.

Louisville hasn’t had the season that many envisioned before the season began or even after the first couple of weeks when they were still a thing.  Still, Jackson has had a good season.

With Louisville falling off the national radar, there has been less attention on Jackson.  Meanwhile he has thrown 21 touchdown passes and just six interceptions.  He has thrown for 3,003-yards.

That is through the air.  On the ground he has rushed for another 1,176-yards and 15 touchdowns.  He has accounted for 36 touchdowns and there are still a couple of weeks left in the season.

That is exactly the kind of guy the Cardinals need behind center.  Having a mobile quarterback is something the Cardinals have been missing for….well, ever.  There is just a good chance he is gone before the Cardinals have the chance to pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
