Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Buccaneers Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles is currently at the University of Kentucky’s Pro-Day.
#Bucs DC Todd Bowles is at the Kentucky pro day primarily to watch DL Josh Allen. Any chance he makes it to No. 5? Got to believe he would be the pick. https://t.co/x60uj2tl2s

Kentucky has alot of talent entering the draft this year but I think Rick Stroud is correct that Todd Bowles is there mainly to watch LB/EDGE Josh Allen.
Allen looks to be one of the Buccaneers favorites at the #5 position. With these accolades it’s not hard to see why.
– Unanimous All-American (2018)
– Chuck Bednarik Award (2018) [1]
– Lott Trophy (2018)
– Bronko Nagurski Trophy (2018)[2]
– SEC Defensive Player of the Year (2018)
– Unanimous First Team All-SEC (2018)
– Second Team All-SEC (2017)
Update:
After consulting his calendar, Kentucky edge Josh Allen told me he has 5 visits set: #49ers, #Raiders, #Bucs, #Giants and #Lions. He met with Giants yesterday and had dinner with Oakland GM Mike Mayock, DB coach Jim O’Neil and teammates Lonnie Johnson and Mike Edwards.
