Highlights from University of Kentucky football linebacker Josh Allen's 2018 season. By
He wasn’t there in many mock drafts — including the team’s own — but when the actual time arrived, Josh Allen was available when the Jacksonville Jaguars picked at the No. 7 spot in the 2019 NFL Draft.
They pounced, bolstering a defense that ranked fifth in yards allowed last season but was among the lower third of the league with 37 sacks. Allen made a name for himself as a quarterback attacker at the University of Kentucky, setting the single-season school record in the category as a senior and finishing as UK’s career leader.
