Florida had a big NFL Draft weekend, coming one short of tying the school’s seven-round record with eight players selected. Several more got free agent contracts shortly after the final round ended, giving the pro ranks a fresh infusion of Gators.
UF had ten players selected in 1978 when the draft stretched on to 12 rounds, though just half of them went in the first seven rounds. The 2010 Draft, featuring much of the core of the 2008-09 teams that went a combined 26-2, had nine players.
In the intervening years, Florida has had eight guys taken four times now.
