Lonnie Johnson says he knows he’ll go in Round 1 of NFL Draft

It seems like every year in college football, there is a breakout team and usually a breakout senior on that team whose pro prospects change suddenly for the good.

This year, that breakout team was the Kentucky Wildcats, and that player was All-American linebacker Josh Allen. We know this, but he wasn’t the only senior who came up big for the 10-win Wildcats.

The Senior Bowl gives seniors the opportunity to show their wares and possibly increase their stock in the upcoming NFL draft.

Enter Lonnie Johnson.

In a recent article by Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio, the senior had a breakout Senior Bowl against some of the best seniors across the country, and after stealing the spotlight, Johnson has serious aspirations about his draft stock and where he could hear his name called in Nashville.
