Offensive tackle – Jamon Brown

2011-2015

Jamon Brown committed to Louisville 2011 after slipping under the radar during his time at Fern Creek high school in the Ville. For the Cards, that was one of the biggest wins for them on the recruiting trail during the Petrino era.

Brown would go on to play in 48 games as a Cardinal, starting in 40 of those games at the left tackle position, protecting the blindside for Teddy Bridgwater, something he did at a very high level.

Behind Brown’s consistency and dominance upfront, the Cards were able to average 122 yards and 2 touchdowns per game in 2012 and 147 yards and 2 touchdowns per game in 2013 on the ground, while giving Bridgewater plenty of time to throw helping him 58 touchdowns over a 2 year period.

As the starting left tackle, Brown helped play a huge role in leading the Cards to a 10-2 record in 2012-13, as well as a big upset over Florida in the Sugar Bowl. His play that season was good enough to be named All-Big East second team.

Brown went on to be a 3rd pick of the Los Angeles Rams in the 2015 NFL Draft and has started in 38 games over his four-year career between the Rams and New York Giants. This offseason he signed a new two-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
