James Quick is having one of the best seasons that Louisville fans have seen in a long time. He has been shredding defenses through the first five weeks of the season and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.

He has killed teams with his speed, as Lamar Jackson has been finding him behind the secondary all season long. He has been able to run past the corners and split the safeties for touchdowns that we thought were only possible playing Madden on level rookie. Once again, Quick is having a special season.

It’s hard to tell how his game will translate to the NFL because of how easy he has made his success look this season. There hasn’t been one defensive back that has been able to run with him, whereas every corner in the NFL could pose a fast and physical threat to Quick each play.

However, NFL offensive coordinators love guys who have great speed and big play ability. There is a place in the NFL for James Quick and he will be a great second or third receiver for years to come.
