The Leaders
5. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville – Teddy Bridgewater is likely the number one pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, depending on which teams holds the pick. However, his Heisman chances will likely take a hit because of the relatively weak schedule the Cardinals play. Despite the weak schedule, Bridgewater has the third highest QB Rating in college football. He is also completing 71.7% of his passes for 1,562 yards to go along with 16 touchdowns and only 1 interception. While there is a possibility that some of the remaining teams on the schedule for Louisville could give the Cardinals some fits, Bridgewater will likely continue putting up big numbers on his way to a possible undefeated season.
