Chris Rodriguez, former Kentucky football RB, drafted by Washington Commanders in 6th round

Quarterback Will Levis was the first University of Kentucky football player to find a new home during the three-day 2023 NFL Draft that began Thursday night. He went to the Tennessee Titans in the second round Friday with the No. 33 overall pick.

It marked the fifth straight year at least one Wildcat has been drafted, and the seventh time since coach Mark Stoops' first season at Kentucky in 2013. The 2017 and 2018 drafts are the only years UK didn't have a player selected during Stoops' tenure.
