The NFL’s mandatory minicamp has come and gone, meaning we’ve seen all we’re going to see of the 2021 rookies until players report back for the full fall camp on July 27. Still, we had several weeks of organized team activities and minicamps to gauge the progress of some of these players, and we’re starting to get an idea of who the early standouts are.
With that in mind, ESPN did some housekeeping on the development of each of the 32 first-round rookies post-minicamp. Two of those players — fourth-overall pick Kyle Pitts and 20th-overall pick Kadarius Toney — are former Gators.
The pair are both expected to have major impacts in revitalizing downtrodden offenses. The former is heading to Atlanta, which hasn’t been bad offensively but was forced to deal arguably the best player in franchise history in Julio Jones due to finances this offseason, while the latter hopes to aid in the development of third-year quarterback Daniel Jones with the Giants, which has been gradual to this point.
According to ESPN’s reporting, here’s where each of them currently stands.
