Andre Woodson was a sixth-round pick in 2008. George Asafo-Adjei was a surprise seventh-round pick in 2015. Wan’Dale Robinson was a second-round pick in 2022.

With the sixth pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, New York selected Kentucky cornerback Andru Phillips at No. 71 overall. The class of 2020 recruit will be part of a secondary rebuil...

The first Kentucky Wildcat has found a new home on Sundays. Versatile defensive back Dru Phillips has been selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the NFL Draft with pick No. 70. It’s the fifth straight year the Wildcats have had at least one day-two selection. He’s also joining what has become a long line of Kentucky defensive backs who have had success in the NFL Draft. Six Kentucky defensive backs have been selected since 2019, most notably two-time Super Bowl Champion Mike Edwards. Phillips’ former teammate, Carrington Valentine, was taken in the seventh round a year ago, but...

According to Spotrac, the former Kentucky Wildcats star will sign a four-year rookie deal worth approximately $5.974 million.

The NFL Draft is the best non-game event on the sports calendar. I do not believe there is a close second. The league has really leaned into the entertainment part of this tentpole offseason event taking the draft on the road over the last decade. That has built some incredible environments and ramped up the drama of a live television event. On Thursday night, the Atlanta Falcons gave us one of the biggest draft surprises in recent memory when they shockingly took Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall. Why was this a wild pick by Atlanta? Likely because this franchise appea...

Dru Phillips last suited up for the Kentucky Wildcats on December 29. Nearly four months later, he’s preparing to hear his name called in the NFL Draft. Four months is a long time. NFL Draft prospects don’t just sit around and wait to be selected. It’s an exhaustive process, one Phillips was kind enough to detail this week on 11 Personnel. “You got the (NFL) Combine and I was lucky enough to be invited to the Senior Bowl,” Phillips said. “Those are really good opportunities, but at the same time, it’s something you have to go to and you gotta do good, or else they’re going to drop your whole s...

Before the lives of football players across America are changed forever, the Kentucky football coaching staff is hard at work in the transfer portal. A day after Peny Boone entered the fold, we learned about a new name who could join the Kentucky offense. New offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan is hosting Collin Schlee for an official visit, a quarterback who’s played at Kent State and most recently UCLA. Most Kentucky fans expected the Wildcats to hit the portal hard for defensive linemen and cornerbacks. The Cats ...

The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh away. Kentucky football fans experienced both emotions on Tuesday. Six players had already departed the program when the day started. On the outside looking in, it didn’t seem like there would be much more movement, with a roster prepared to handle 2-3 new acquisitions. The BBN was thrown for a loop when Jaremiah Anglin shared he’ll be leaving Lexington. The former four-star talent finally was healthy enough to pick off a pass in the spring game. Playing a position of need, nobody wanted to see him go before scratching the surface of hi...
