NFL scouts believe Benny Snell will be part of the 2019 draft class

According to the Athletic, NFL scouts are reportedly counting on Snell being part of the 2019 draft class.

“NFL scouts who have gone through Lexington have told me the junior running back will be a part of the 2019 draft class, which isn’t a surprise considering his accomplishments and the position he plays,” Dane Brugler of the Athletic said. “Against three FBS-level programs this season, Snell has rushed for at least 125 yards in each contet, averaging 6.5 yards per carry. After 1,091 rushing yards as a freshman and 1,333 rushing yards last year, he is on pace for a record-breaking junior campaign, needing 872 rushing yards over the final nine games to reach No.
