The 2025 NFL Draft concluded with two former Kentucky football players, Maxwell Hairston and Deone Walker, being selected by the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, four other Wildcats signed as undrafted free agents (UDFAs) with various NFL teams, indicating the resilience of these athletes in pursuit of their dreams. Marques Cox joined the Denver Broncos, Eli Cox signed with the Houston Texans, Jamon 'Pop' Dumas-Johnson landed with the Green Bay Packers, and Zion Childress signed with the Dallas Cowboys.

Marques Cox, a left tackle, brings experience from his time at Kentucky, where he had impressive grades. However, scouts have pointed out concerns about his footwork and strength. Eli Cox, a center with a solid collegiate career, hopes to leverage his athleticism to secure a spot with the Texans. Dumas-Johnson, a linebacker, joins the Packers with leadership qualities but faces challenges due to an injury during the combine. Childress rounds out the group, ready to prove himself in Dallas.
