Only four cats competed in the NFL combine in February: Eli Cox, Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Deone Walker, and Maxwell Hairston.
The 4-8 record of the 2024 UK season is not a direct reflection of the talent of this team, so Pro Day gives Cats a better chance to show teams what they truly have to offer.
After measurements like height, weight, and vertical jump, players completed the short shuttle, three-cone shuttle, and various position drills. The 2025 NFL Draft starts Thursday, April 24th, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
