Many mock drafts have the 49ers taking Kentucky edge-rusher Josh Allen with the No. 2 pick in April’s NFL draft. If Allen's performance in Tuesday’s Citrus Bowl is any indication, 49ers fans should be salivating over the prospect of having him join Robert Saleh's defense.
Allen dominated throughout Kentucky’s 27-24 victory over Penn St., recording three sacks and even blocking a field goal.
With this performance, Allen, a senior, set Kentucky football records for career sacks (31.5) and sacks in a season (17).
Take a look at his highlight reel from the game. There’s a lot of footage.
