Florida football: David Reese II finds a home in Carolina

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the 2020 NFL Draft — at least to Florida football fans — was that middle linebacker David Reese II didn’t get picked up.

In fact, it wasn’t until Sunday afternoon that Reese finally found a home when the Carolina Panthers signed him as an unrestricted free agent.

Reese joins fellow defensive players Jonathan Greenard, Jabari Zuniga, Adam Shuler and CJ Henderson as former Florida football players who have found NFL teams to call home.
