Jim McElwain draws a line on players leaving early

Over the past two days Gator Country went over the draft eligible players on the Florida Gators roster and examined if they should stay in school for another season or leave early for the NFL.

Jim McElwain met with all of those players individually earlier in the week, helping them file paperwork to the NFL to receive a draft grade, as well as having real discussions with each player about what would be their best option. Every player and situation is different and there are a lot of things to be considered when making this decision on a case-to-case basis, but McElwain has a simple tenet he sticks by.
