Several Florida Gators could hear their names called on the second night of the 2017 NFL Draft this Friday. The first one belonged to a guy who isn’t there: Safety Marcus Maye, drafted with the 39th overall pick by the New York Jets in the second round.

Maye, like first-rounder Jarrad Davis, made plays for most of his senior season at Florida after passing on early entry to the 2016 NFL Draft, and, like Davis, had injuries end his season prematurely. For Maye, it was a broken arm suffered against South Carolina that kept him out of Florida’s final four games.
