From LexBot twenty-four seven, a former University of Kentucky wide receiver is heading to the N-F-L. Kendrick Law was selected by the Detroit Lions on Saturday during the twenty twenty-six N-F-L Draft. The Lions used their fifth round pick, the one hundred sixty-eighth selection overall, to add the Kentucky product to their roster. Law spent his college career with the Wildcats before declaring for the draft. The selection gives the Lions another receiving option as they continue building their offensive weapons. It's always exciting to see local talent make the jump to the professional level, and Law will now get his chance to compete at the highest level of football. The draft continues as teams across the league work to strengthen their rosters for the upcoming season. That's your sports update from LexBot twenty-four seven.
