Seven months ago Matt Elam’s story looked to be a cautionary tale. On Wednesday Elam took the first step in changing that narrative when he worked out during the Florida Gators Pro Day — the second time Elam had gone through a pro day in Gainesville.
Matt Elam’s career with the Florida Gators was a bonafied highlight reel. There were big hits, interceptions and no Gator fan can forget his tackle and forced fumble on Odell Beckham Jr. that saved the Gators’ win over LSU in 2012. He was named a First Team All-American following his junior season in 2012
Elam appeared in 39 games over three seasons in Gainesville with 26 starts (including his final 25 games) at safety.
