Christian, 21, served as protection for former Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson at Louisville. The 6-foot-5, 298-pounder made 39 starts for the Cardinals and earned an all-ACC honorable mention in 2015 and 2017.

Selected with the 74th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Christian is expected to provide depth at the position behind six-time Pro Bowl selection Trent Williams, Morgan Moses and Ty Nsekhe.
