The excitement is building. With the NFL draft just over a week away, former Kansas standout defensive end Dorance Armstrong has many reasons for optimism. There are dozens of mock drafts, pre-draft predictions and lists of the best available players. Just about everyone has good things to say about the former Jayhawk.
Sure, fans initially expressed disappointment when Armstrong ruined the first week of 2018 when he announced he would skip his senior season for David Beaty. Following a step backward after a fantastic 2016 season, many believed the 6-foot-4 250-pound defensive end would want to play one more year.
