Additionally, running back RJ Harvey, cornerback Mac McWilliams and BJ Adams were representing the Knights in Mobile. UCF revealed that one particular player is generating a lot of buzz with NFL teams ahead of the draft.

Harvey met with all 32 NFL teams in Mobile, per UCF Athletics. The Knights revealed the NFL draft news with an X message on Friday.
