Four Cardinals Receive Invitations to 2023 NFL Scouting Combine

 The Louisville football program will have a noticeable presence at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine when it kicks off later this month.

On Tuesday, the NFL released the list of the 321 prospects that will make their way to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. for the combine, and four Cardinals were amongst those who received invitations.

Running backs Jawhar Jordan and Isaac Guerendo, wide receiver Jamar Thrash and cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. are the quartet of Cards that were lucky enough to be invited to perform in front of scouts for all 32 NFL teams.

Despite being limited by a nagging hamstring injury in the second half of the season, Jordan still finished as one of the top running backs in the ACC. The 5-foot-9, 172-pound all-purpose back ran for 1,128 yards and 13 touchdowns on 181 rushes, while also catching 21 passes out of the backfield for 246 yards and a touchdown, getting named a First-Team All-ACC selection for his efforts.

When Jordan was hampered by a hamstring injury in the second half of the season, Guerendo saw his role in the offense increase dramatically, to which he took full advantage. In the final six games of the year, the 6-foot-1, 225-pound back rushed 72 times for 558 yards (7.75 YPC average) and eight touchdowns. He finished the season with 810 yards and 11 touchdowns on 132 rushes, along with 22 receptions for 234 yards to total 1,044 yards from scrimmage.

While Thrash was limited at times in the second half of the season due to a wrist injury, he still established himself as one of the top receivers in the ACC. Playing in 12 of Louisville's 13 games, all of which were starts, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound wideout caught 63 passes for 858 yards and six touchdowns, all of which led the team.

While he was somewhat limited in the final few games of the season due to a foot injury, Brownlee was still among one of the best cornerbacks in the ACC. In 11 games and nine starts this season, the 6-foot, 190-pound corner logged 30 tackles, one for loss, six pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery.

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine starts on February 26 and lasts through March 4. Brownlee will take part on Mar. 1, then Jordan, Guerendo and Thrash will on Mar. 2. Coverage from the combine, as well as it's various activities, will air on the NFL Network.
