By the end of the process, Mike Edwards and Josh Allen had a handful of reasons they wanted to come back to Kentucky next season.
Both UK defensive standouts wanted to improve their NFL Draft stock to hopefully go in one of the earliest rounds next year. Both said they wanted to get stronger physically.
And both the safety and linebacker couldn’t help but notice the number of starters back for the Cats in 2018.
“All of us returning except for one starter, that’s a big boost for us coming back and that’s what I really thought about when I (decided to) come back,” Edwards said of the defense.
