Louisville Cardinals – Jawon Pass RS Sophomore

More from NFL Mocks

Another Heisman winner who needs replacing is Louisville’s Lamar Jackson.

The new Baltimore Raven won the Heisman trophy in 2016 and barely squeaked his way into the first round of the NFL Draft.

Louisville plans to move on with the aptly named Jawon Pass.

The new Cardinal starter can contribute to the running game but the drop off from Jackson is a big one, as it would be with anyone. Pass’ strengths are just that, his arm.

Expect Louisville to focus more on the passing game to accommodate Jawon.  Even though there may be a few growing pains, he should be just fine with an experienced receiving corps helping him out.
