The University of Louisville Cardinals have
became an annual part of the NFL Draft in
recent years. In fact, the Cardinals have had at
least one player drafted in each of the last
seven years, including 14 over the last three
seasons.
Since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 2005, the
Cardinals have had eight players taken in the NFL Draft.
Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, the 19-year old phenom,
was the highest U of L player drafted in school history
when he was taken 10th by the Houston Texans, and the
first first round draft selection since 1993.
With the hiring of Steve Kragthorpe and playing in the
BIG EAST Conference, that number should climb with the
abundance of talent in the Cardinal program. Louisville
hosts NFL scouts at every practice and games. Louisville
always hosts its annual Pro Day each March.
