Jamin Davis to Washington Football Team in 2021 NFL Draft

Jamin Davis finally has an NFL home.

With the 19th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team selected Davis, making him one of the highest-drafted players in program history. He’s the second-highest draft pick in the Mark Stoops era, trailing only Josh Allen, who went 7th to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2019 NFL Draft. Bud Dupree going 22nd to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015 was Stoops’ other first-round pick while coaching Kentucky.

This past season, Davis become one of the top linebackers not only in the SEC, but the entire country.
