Seventeen University of Florida football players participated in its annual Pro Day on Wednesday.
Offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor, safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and defensive end Jachai Polite were among those who worked out for scouts of all 32 NFL teams, including New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
Many notable UF draft prospects reported injuries, including Taylor (hamstring), Polite (hamstring), offensive tackle Martez Ivey (calf), and linebacker Vosean Joseph (hamstring), but all participated in their on-field workouts.
Here are a few of the highlights from UF’s most high-profile participants:
