Kentucky’s 2019 draft class has broken records and achieved many new “firsts,” all while taking the program to heights not reached in decades. They’re a likable group, but not just because of their success. What makes this group of players so incredibly endearing is what they had to overcome to be successful.
“They are a special group,” Mark Stoops said earlier this week. “You guys have never got me to cry up here but I could darn near cry right now. I just appreciate those guys.”
From injuries to homelessness, the special group overcame the unbelievable odds to hear their names called in the 2019 NFL Draft.
