The National Football League’s 2021 draft is rapidly approaching, and in the days leading up to the premiere event, Florida Gators fans have two players who will be featured on ESPN’s pre-draft programming.
Tight end Kyle Pitts, who won the Mackey Award and is expected to be selected early in the first round, is one of four players followed by the “Hey Rookie: Welcome to the NFL” series along with Ohio State‘s Justin Fields, Penn State‘s Micah Parson and South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn.
The program follows incoming rookies as they experience the ups and downs of the professional draft, stretching from their waning collegiate days all the way to the big day. The series is set to air on four consecutive weeks starting April 13, according to the press release.
Quarterback Kyle Trask will also get some air time on “QB21 with Kirk Herbstreit”, a seven-episode series that features six of the highest-rated quarterbacks in the nation coming into the draft. The episode will air on Monday, April 19 at 7 p.m. EDT on ESPN2 and also includes Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, Alabama‘s Mac Jones, Fields, North Dakota State’s Trey Lance and BYU’s Zach Wilson.
