2019 NFL Draft: UK Wildcats - Josh Allen, Lonnie Johnson, Mike Edwards - go in Rounds 1-3

When former Winton Woods High School standout Mike Edwards, a safety from the Kentucky Wildcats, was selected Friday night in the third round with the 99th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, it meant a Wildcat had been drafted in each of the first three rounds.

In Thursday's first round, linebacker Josh Allen was selected seventh overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars - the highest a UK player has been drafted since the New York Jets made defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson the fourth pick of the 2003 draft.
