We take a look at the 6 ACC players that were chosen in Pro Football Focus’ NFL Mock Draft and if there were any Louisville football players.

The 2016 college football season definitely kept everyone on-edge from start to finish. As Louisville football fans, things didn’t turn out like we hoped they would, but that didn’t mean that 2016 came without excitement.

Lamar Jackson winning the Heisman Trophy will probably be one of the best “sports moments” in my entire life, even if Louisville wins the National Championship at some point. Winning that award is always something that people will remember for years to come.

With that being said, Jackson should be the top draft pick whenever he decides to leave the University of Louisville for the NFL. However, thankfully Cardinals fans won’t have to deal with that for at least another year.

Some other teams in the ACC aren’t so lucky, as there is a large number of talented offensive football players leaving the conference for the NFL this year. While we expected there to be some Cardinals among that “top group”, it pains me to say that none of them were worthy enough to of made Pro Football Focus’ first NFL Mock Draft.

However, the Cardinals did go toe-to-toe with some of the best prospects coming out this season. Take a look at them on the following slides.
