Kentucky had four players selected in this spring’s NFL Draft, a few less than some mock drafts expected. Unfortunately, mock drafts are hardly ever right. However, a few of those players who were snubbed ended up signing undrafted free agent deals with teams. Below is a list of who was drafted, where they were selected and who signed an UDFA deal.

Wan’Dale Robinson, 43rd overall to the New York Giants
Josh Paschal, 46th overall to the Detroit Lions
Luke Fortner, 65th overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars
Darian Kinnard, 145th overall to the Kansas City Chiefs
Dare Rosenthal, undrafted free agent deal with the Altanta Falcons
Justin Rigg, undrafted free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals
Marquan McCall, undrafted free agent deal with the Carolina Panthers
Quandre Mosley, undrafted free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys
Yusuf Corker, undrafted free agent deal with the Giants

Josh Ali appears to be the last Kentucky Wildcat that had real NFL Draft interest who has yet to sign an UDFA deal. While he wasn’t projected to go in the draft, sometimes teams will reach for a guy they like in the later rounds. While that didn’t happen with Ali, there will still be UDFA and training camp deal opportunities to showcase how he can benefit a NFL team.
