Football season is well in the rearview mirror as spring quickly approaches, which means that all eyes are on the next big date on the calendar: the 2021 NFL draft starting on Thursday, April 29. But before then, there is one particular event for collegiate gridiron giants looking to make the jump into the professional ranks that the entire sport is focused on.
Ahead of the draft, players will hold a pro day with their respective schools to show off their tools and talents to NFL evaluators and scouts. Mind you, this year’s activities will look quite a bit different due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, especially considering the cancelation of the 2021 NFL scouting combine which had previously been held uninterrupted since 1987.
The limitations placed on the players and organizations by COVID-19 makes these pro days that much more important. The University of Florida will be holding its pro day on Wednesday, March 31, including six notable names from last season’s South Eastern Conference East Division champion team.
Below are six former Florida Gators expected to participate in this year’s college pro day ahead of the 2021 NFL draft. Each entry includes the player’s stats, basic demographics and a link to their 2020 Gators Wire player profile card.
