Could the University of Kentucky have the No. 1 NFL draft pick for the second time in its football history?

Don't be shocked if it happens.

Edge rusher Josh Allen, who was already being roundly forecast among the top picks for April's NFL draft in Nashville, is now receiving buzz as a possible No. 1 selection by the Arizona Cardinals.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein released a mock draft this week that had Allen No. 1 instead of Ohio State's Nick Bosa, who has long been considered the top talent in this draft.
