Florida Football: Where will Gator prospects land in 2020 NFL Draft?
As per usual, the 2020 NFL Draft will be full of Florida football stars. Here’s where they may land, starting with first-rounder C.J. Henderson.
Following an 11-2 season in 2019 that included an Orange Bowl victory, the Florida Gators are set another load of players to the NFL.
At least five Gators are expected to be drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft with one likely to be picked during day one’s first round.
Here’s a look at where each Gator prospect may land.

Florida corner C.J. Henderson will be among the first corners selected in the NFL draft. He was named first-team All-SEC as a junior in 2019 after defending 11 passes in just nine games. He finished his career with six interceptions, which included two being returned for touchdowns.
At the next level, the 6-1 corner could start right away for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders hold two first round picks (12 and 19) and will likely use the first on a receiver and second at corner.
Henderson would be the perfect piece to line up opposite of young Trayvon Mullen and form one of the NFL’s top young corner duos.
Projection: No. 19 overall (Raiders)
