NFL Draft and UDFA roundup for Kentucky

Nine former Kentucky Wildcats are moving on to the NFL following the three-day 2023 NFL Draft that began Thursday night.

Of those six players, three Wildcats were selected in the draft, headlined by quarterback Will Levis after he was taken 33rd by the Tennessee Titans on Friday.

Two more players followed Levis on Saturday: running back Chris Rodriguez by the Washington Commanders in the sixth round, as well as cornerback Carrington Valentine to the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round.

With three selections in this year’s draft, Kentucky has had 24 players drafted under Mark Stoops.
