Eight Florida football players made it onto the Reese’s Senior Bowl Watchlist: safety Trey Dean III, defensive lineman Zachary Carter, linebacker Ventrell Miller and Jeremiah Moon, tight end Kemore Gamble, running backs Dameon Pierce and Malik Davis, and offensive tackle Jean Delance.

Last year, Kadarius Toney, Trevon Grimes and Shawn Davis represented the Gators in the Senior Bowl. Toney and Davis were selected in the 2021 NFL draft along with quarterback Kyle Trask, who turned down an invite to the game due to injury. For NFL hopefuls, the final game of their collegiate careers can make a world of difference in terms of draft stock. The annual game is coached by personnel from two NFL teams typically and consists mostly of prospects for the NFL draft.

Carter, Gamble and Miller perhaps have the best chance of the eight to see some action in the game. Miller and Carter could have declared for the draft after last year but both decided to return. Carter has the benefit of returning to his natural edge position after filling in at tackle last year. Gamble is finally getting a crack at the starting tight end role after sitting behind Kyle Pitts and he’s ready to make the most of it.

The Senior Bowl will be played on Jan. 29 at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
