Pitt’s Calijah Kancey projected as top-10 pick according to ESPN

It has been a stellar season for Pittsburgh Panthers defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. The unanimous All-American and ACC defensive player of the year was wrecking offensive game plans all season long in route to being one of the best interior defensive linemen in college football. Kancey was always projected to be taken in the NFL draft but now we see just how high he can go.

In Mel Kiper Jr’s latest NFL mock draft, the former Pitt standout will be having his name called early. After being an unranked prospect in Kiper’s big board, Kancey is now projected to go 10th overall to the Philadelphia Eagles.
