3. Lamar Jackson Hurdling The Syracuse Defender

This might have been the signature picture of the 2016 Lamar Jackson Heisman Trophy campaign. The Syracuse defender in this picture, will forever be remembered by Louisville football fans for being the guy that helped Jackson get in front of the national media, once and for all.

The overall reaction to this play was incredible. It was all over Twitter, Facebook, ESPN, you name it and this highlight was there.

Not only was this one of the best moments from Louisville’s season, but you would be hard-pressed to find a 2016 college football highlight tape that doesn’t have this play on it.

I can’t wait to see what a third-year Lamar Jackson will have up his sleeve in 2017.
