The 2021 National Football League draft is underway in Cleveland, Ohio, and the festivities are in full swing. Fans of both the NFL and college football will be riveted to their televisions and mobile devices over the next few days as the best the collegiate ranks have to offer find their way into the professional ranks.
The University of Florida has a long and proud history of sending its alumni to the highest level of the sport. It is the only school in the Southeastern Conference to have a player selected in every NFL draft in the common draft era (eat that, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs!) and one of only four programs in the country to hold that distinguished accomplishment.

Clearly, without question, it has always been great to be a Florida Gator and the 2021 NFL draft will not be much different. One highly heralded player has a chance to make history while snapping an 11-year streak without an offensive skill player drafted in the first round.
Behind that player exists a cohort of highly talented players who are graduating from one of the most explosive offenses college football has seen, along with a few defensive players whose ceilings are likely higher than what was seen in Gainesville.
