Former Wildcats are making plays on Sundays, helping Mark Stoops convince Friday night stars to play for Kentucky on Saturdays.
Kentucky’s first big NFL Draft night was in 2019 when Josh Allen was selected seventh overall, the first of five UK draft picks. The Wildcats were the only team with a pick in each of the first four rounds. Third round selection Mike Edwards won a Super Bowl for Tampa Bay. Second round selection Lonnie Johnson picked off a pass yesterday, his third of the season, the third-most in the NFL.
“Really proud,” Mark Stoops said Monday.
