A year ago most folks who followed Kentucky football closely believed we were only seeing the beginning of No. 14 at cornerback for the Cats. Instead, Carrington Valentine was an early entry to the NFL Draft. He made a splash throughout the process and was ultimately selected by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round. Valentine has appeared in every game and started in two as a rookie. Another Kentucky cornerback could be on a similar path.
Max Hairston grabbed headlines by creating five turnovers in the first six games of the season, but it was the other first-year starting cornerback that caught the eye of Senior Bowl officials last Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
