How former Kentucky stars fared in NFL preseason week one

[ASFN Admin]

The NFL preseason has finally begun, and though Kentucky football isn't a traditional powerhouse, there are a number of former Wildcats throughout the league. Some have been around for a bit, while some are newbies trying to find a foothold as a professional.

The preseason is a chance for young players to make a name or themselves. It's also a time for veterans to shake off the rust of the offseason and get ready for the regular season. Kentucky has representatives on both ends of the spectrum.
