The 2020 NFL Draft might have just finished, but that won’t stop us from looking forward to 2021. What prospects will Florida football bring to the dance?

The 2019 season was a big step up for the Florida Gators. For the first time since 2012, they finished the season with 11 wins. Florida took care of business in their wins and stayed competitive through their losses. You can easily argue the Gators gave LSU their toughest game all season long.

Credit to Dan Mullen for starting out 21-5 in his first two seasons and finishing each season with a bowl victory. With the foundation laid, it is time for Florida to start churning out NFL prospects and playoff appearances.

In the 2020 draft, seven players were drafted from the Florida with four undrafted free agents finding a home in the NFL.

Going into this season, Florida has multiple draft eligible players that can improve their draft stock. If the team continues its success from the past two seasons, don’t be surprised to see more and more Gators playing big time football on Sundays.

We are going to take a look at three guys with the most to prove for this season in terms of draft stock. There likely will be more Gators drafted or signed after the draft, so let’s take a quick look at who else Florida might send to the league.

Honorable Mentions:

  • Trevon Grimes, WR
  • Zachary Carter, EDGE
  • Tedarrell Slaton, DT
  • Donovan Stiner, S

With those guys being mentioned, who are the most draft ready players on the Gators’ roster?
