Dooley’s Dozen: 12 Gators we thought would be better in the NFL

Not necessarily busts, but Pat Dooley looks at a dozen players who fell well short of the Gator Nation’s expectations.

Now that the NFL draft is over and the talking heads switch gears from nit-picking to analyzing the picks, we all know that one thing is true about the Florida players who are changing addresses.

We have no idea how good they will be at the next level.

We think we do, but we don’t.

There are very few sure things in the NFL. The side of the road is littered with busts. On the other hand, there are a bunch of guys who we can’t believe got drafted who will become All-Pros.

Like recruiting, it is an inexact science.

It’s easier to look back sometimes. So, in this Dooley’s Dozen, we will do just that with the 12 players we are a little surprised didn’t have better NFL careers.
