LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky football’s two-year NFL draft drought is about to meet a waterfall.
The Wildcats could have as many as a dozen players selected in the 2019 NFL draft, UK coach Mark Stoops said Friday.
“In the neighborhood of 11-12 guys that could potentially get drafted,” Stoops said after a practice in advance of UK's Jan. 1 Citrus Bowl against Penn State.
