The 2026 NFL draft will get underway on Thursday at 8 P.M. ET on ESPN. We have covered the projections for Kentucky Wildcats offensive linemen Jalen Farmer and Jager Burton. Now, let's stay on the offensive side of the football and see where wide receiver Kendrick Law could see his name called this week.
Law is a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands, and we saw flashes of that last season on the Wildcats. Law is a pure slot receiver, at 5'10, 203-pounds he plays with great physicality after the catch. Law showcased his athleticism at the NFL Combine, where he posted a 4.45 40-yard dash time and 21 reps on the bench press. Law and phenomenal explosion testing with a great broad jump number and a 42" vertical.
Law currently sits at 187 overall on the consensus big board and is projected to be drafted in the 6th round. In Dane Brugler's recent seven round mock draft at The Athletic, he had Law going in the 6th round at pick 184 to the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans recently signed former Wildcat Wan'Dale Robinson to be their primary slot receiver. Adding Law to the mix could be beneficial, he offers a different skillset which is similar in ways to Deebo Samuel; just get Law the ball quickly in space and let him make defenders miss.
