Offensive MVP: James Quick (Wide Receiver)

Quick has had his ups and downs throughout his career in a Louisville football uniform. However, among a deep receiving core, he has looked like Louisville’s best option. He developed a good chemistry with Lamar Jackson during last year and we are seeing the fruit of that this season.

He has made play after play for the Cardinals so far this year. Whether it was the long touchdown catch and run on the first play in Syracuse or the between the legs catch against Florida State, Quick has proven why he should be taken seriously by every defensive coordinator in the country.

Here are James Quick’s statistics throughout the first quarter of the season:

  • 12 receptions (Team leader)
  • 262 receiving yards (Team leader)
  • 2 receiving touchdowns (Team leader)

James Quick is becoming one of the ACC’s top receivers right before our very eyes. Look for him to continue making plays in open space throughout the next couple of months. I’m sure he will be looking to find the end-zone in Clemson on October 1st.
