Credit Kentucky for a genius idea to pay tribute to Josh Allen as the Wildcat linebacker is poised to be one of the first players taken on Thursday when the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft rolls around.

If you haven’t seen it, Kentucky hung a massive banner of Allen on the Moxy Downtown hotel which is located on the same street as the draft podium and only a few yards away. The banner serves to not only honor Allen’s contribution in Lexington but displays what can be accomplished by recruits if they come and get developed by Mark Stoops’ UK program.

Unfortunately, if you wanted to check out the banner for yourself, it’s too late as the NFL has ordered the banner be taken down, according to Tyler Thompson of Kentucky Sports Radio. According to KSR, the NFL was not pleased with the NFL shield being used as marketing/advertising for Kentucky. Kentucky had the NFL logo painted over but that did not satisfy the league and had the banner removed.
