There’s a very good chance Jamin Davis will hear his name called tonight, which would make him the third first round draft pick of the Mark Stoops Era. As we count down to tonight’s big event, let’s look back at the last time a Kentucky Wildcat went in the first round, the 2019 NFL Draft, when Josh Allen was selected seventh by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Seeing Josh take the stage with his son Wesley in his arms will never get old, but the video of the actual moment he found out he’ll be a Jaguar is great too.

Mark Stoops was there to celebrate Allen’s big night, posing for this memorable selfie, chatting with reporters, and even babysitting.

“They’re running around doing all of this press right now. I babysat,” said Stoops. “I was holding Wesley for a while, but he’s a tank. I mean, he gets heavy after a while so I give Kaitlyn a lot of credit.”

While we’re looking back at the 2019 NFL Draft, the footage of the sea of humanity on the streets of Nashville is still surreal.
