Kentucky Football in the NFL Draft

For the first time in recent memory, the Kentucky Wildcats are poised to see more players selected in the 2019 NFL Draft than the NBA Draft scheduled for June.

On Thursday, the NFL Draft is set to kick-off in Nashville with Round 1. The draft will continue Friday with Rounds 2-3 and conclude Saturday with Rounds 4-7.

In total, the Wildcats have 11 players with chances to be selected this weekend. There is a chance that the group will include two first rounders as Josh Allen is almost a guarantee to go in the top five and Lonnie Johnson Jr.
