Former Gators' stars Antonio Callaway, Matt Elam make case for second chance at UF's Pro Day

Receiver Antonio Callaway and defensive Matt Elam took different paths to reach UF’s Pro Day Wednesday. Each now seeks the same thing from NFL teams: a second chance.

“I mean they already know I'm a good athlete,” Callaway said. “Just know I'm not a bad person.”

Elam hopes to send a similar message.

“People make mistakes in life,” Elam said. “One mistake don’t define a person. It’s what you do with that second chance.
