Kentucky could have a several guys get their name called in the NFL Draft. Dominique Yates, Courier Journal, Louisville Courier Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The fifth Kentucky football player selected in the 2019 NFL draft was something of a surprise.
Senior right tackle George Asafo-Adjei earned that honor when the New York Giants picked him in the seventh round. Asafo-Adjei had not been projected as a likely draft pick despite starting 12 games as a senior and twice earning Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week.
One of the strongest players on Kentucky's roster, Asafo-Adjei completed 31 reps on the bench press at UK's pro day.
