The NFL preseason is in full swing, and Big Blue Nation has plenty of reasons to tune in on Sundays. Over the past decade, Kentucky football has gone from a modest NFL pipeline to producing impact players across the league. This year is no different — the Wildcats are well represented at nearly every position.
Quarterback Will Levis is in his second year with the Tennessee Titans, looking to build on a rookie season where he flashed big-play ability and toughness in the pocket. His connection with new offensive weapons will be a storyline to watch.
Wan’Dale Robinson has become a reliable target for the New York Giants, bringing explosive speed and quickness in open space. Meanwhile, Randall Cobb — still defying time — is back for another season, now in a veteran mentorship role.
On defense, Josh Allen remains a star pass rusher for the Jacksonville Jaguars, coming off a career year in sacks. Bud Dupree will be wearing Falcons colors, hoping to add veteran stability to Atlanta’s defense. Mike Edwards, now with the Buffalo Bills, continues to showcase his ball-hawking skills in the secondary.
Other BBN standouts include Quinton Bohanna on the defensive line for the Detroit Lions, Logan Stenberg in the trenches for the Steelers, and Luke Fortner as a center for Jacksonville. Chris Rodriguez Jr. looks to make his mark in Washington’s backfield as a power runner.
For Kentucky fans, Sundays aren’t just about NFL drama — they’re a chance to watch former Wildcats carry the BBN banner on football’s biggest stage.
