Lukas Denis 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Lukas Denis<\/strong> was a breakout star for the Boston College Eagles in 2017. During his junior season, the Everett, MA product racked up seven interceptions, 10 passes defended, two forced fumbles and 46 solo tackles in 13 games played. He was one of the most exciting prospects on what should have been a consistently top-25 Boston College squad.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Denis didn’t do himself any favors heading into the draft. In his senior season, Denis’ production dropped in every category except for sacks and pick-sixes. Across 10 games played, he recorded 31 solo tackles, one interception (returned for a touchdown), one forced fumble and two passes defended. He recorded one half-sack against UMass in the Eagles first game of the 2018 season. Denis recorded his lone interception in that game as well, taking it 59 yards for his only career defensive touchdown.<\/p>\n
