Boogie Watson to Steelers; Drake Jackson to Lions; AJ Rose to Vikings

Following the 2021 NFL Draft, three former Kentucky Wildcats were signed to undrafted free agent contracts.

First up, running back A.J. Rose is headed to the Minnesota Vikings.

At Kentucky, Rose finished with 1,971 career rushing yards, ending his career at No. 10 on UK’s all-time list. His 5.8 career average per rushing attempt ranks third all-time.

Rose has a lot of potential that could help him carve out a career in the pros. He has that breakaway speed that coaches love, and if he can improve his pass-catching ability, he could be a great threat on the outside.
