Zuniga drafted by the Jets in Round 3

For the third round in a row, a Gators player comes off the draft board.

The New York Jets selected edge rusher Jabari Zuniga with the 79th overall pick.

Zuniga missed most of his senior season after suffering an ankle injury against Kentucky in Week 3 of the 2019 season and missed seven games last season.

But when he was on the field, he shined. He opened the season against Miami with 6 tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. He finished his redshirt-senior season with six sacks, seven tackles for loss and 14 total tackles in six games played.
