The cornerback for the Cardinals could be in line for a special 2024 season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Quincy Riley could have very easily made the jump to the NFL after the 2023 season. The Louisville cornerback has been a crucial component of the Cardinals' secondary since he joined the program from Middle Tennessee, and last season he established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the ACC.
"The biggest thing about Quincy right now is just development," he said Thursday. "Every time you get an opportunity to come back and develop, that's the key. You either growing, or you're getting stale. In football, it's really pretty simple: either you're getting better, or you're not getting better. There is no in between.
Fast forward to the present, and his efforts to bulk up have paid off. When he first joined Louisville during the 2022 season, he was listed at 181 pounds. Last season, Riley's playing weight was 185. Now, the 6-foot-0 corner comes in at 195 pounds. With fall camp in full swing, it has become obvious that Riley is the most physical he has ever been.
"He's a hard coach, but it's all love at the end of the day," Riley said. "He's gonna push me, he's gonna tell me what's wrong and when I'm right. He understands that I can't get complacent with the position I'm in. He talks a lot of ball with me, how he's learning when it comes to football. I just embrace it all and understand where he's coming from.
