2019 NFL draft: Jaguars select EDGE Josh Allen No. 7 overall

The Jaguars selected Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall selection of the 2019 NFL draft.

Allen was considered one of the top edge rushers coming into the draft, a explosive combination of speed and athleticism. He joins a stout Jacksonville defense.

Allen holds Kentucky’s career and single-season sack records, recording 14 sacks his senior year. He led the SEC in sacks, tackles for loss and forced fumbles in 2018, leading the Wildcats to their first bowl win since 2008.
