Florida football: Jets ‘steal’ Jabari Zuniga

The second and third-rounds of the NFL Draft served Florida football well with three picks.

Jabari Zuniga was the third Gator chosen and was ultimately signed by the New York Jets as the 79th overall pick.

Zuniga, who missed most of the 2019 season, truly ran his draft campaign on his break out 2018 season where he accounted for 6.5 sacks.

It seems that a lot of teams passed on the 6’3 defensive end due to his injury problems last year, but the Jets took a chance on the young man.
