A recent USA Today NFL Mock Draft has two Kentucky Wildcats listed in the first two rounds of the draft.
Running back Benny Snell enters the picture as a second-round pick, coming in at 57th overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In this projection, Snell would be the fourth running back off the board behind Iowa State’s David Montgomery (26), Stanford’s Bryce Love (29), and Alabama’s Damien Harris (39).
Snell is off to a solid start to his junior campaign, as he ranks 11th nationally in rushing yards with 375 yards through three games and three touchdowns while averaging six yards per carry.
