Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon, ruled ineligible by the NCAA for testing positive for a banned substance, confirmed Monday morning that he will enter the NFL’s supplemental draft on July 16.
Jarmon will have a pro day in Lexington on July 9. Kentucky now has no defensive ends on its roster who have made a college tackle.
Jarmon has told NFL teams what he tested positive for, though he declines to disclose it publicly.
“I told the NFL teams that have called that I don’t even have a speeding ticket,” Jarmon said. “If they take me they’re not going to have any off-the-field problems.”
Jarmon, who was driving to a training facility, will fly to Philadelphia on Tuesday for a meeting and a physical with the Eagles.

PCPTAKE: Jarmon was projected as a late third to early fourth round pick in the 2009 draft had remained in the player pool rather than deciding to return to Kentucky. He has the third most sacks in Kentucky school history and the Birds are always looking for pass rushers to add to their rotation. Supplemental draft bids are submitted via e-mail and the team willing to give up the highest selection in next year’s draft gets the player.
