When Jim McElwain arrived at the University of Florida in December 2014, he had talent on his roster – including five players drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft and a number of players that will be drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft in a few months.
But, that doesn’t exactly show the true picture of what the Florida Gators football program exactly looked like.
The Gators entered Jim McElwain’s first spring with just six offensive linemen and had major issues at linebacker, tight end, and kicker. It wasn’t pretty and it’s amazing the Florida was able to field a team that season.
