Going into his forth season at the University of Louisville, Quick still needs to live up to the expectations that surrounded him as a Freshman. Just like his last name, Quick is very fast and has the ability to become a big play guy for the Cardinals.

He has struggled with drops over his career at Louisville, but he can put that to rest in a crucial year for Louisville. He connected last season with Lamar Jackson, hopefully they can find a rhythm again this year.

Quick has a great match-up coming against an under-matched Charlotte football team.

Against Charlotte, Quick has an opportunity to show why he was once a highly ranked recruit. There won’t be many guys on the 49ers who will be able to play man-to-man with Quick, therefore look for him to make a couple of big plays early in this game.

If everything goes as planned for Louisville, we probably won’t be seeing too much of him in this one.

Next: No. 14
