NFL Draft Player Profile: Leonard Floyd

One of the defining moments of the chaotic hours following Mark Richt's dismissal as the head coach at Georgia was the sight of Junior linebacker Leonard Floyd defiantly telling media members that he was leaving early for the NFL draft. To be fair, everyone paying attention already knew that Floyd would not be in Athens in 2016. The trajectory of his Bulldog career seemed to demand it. Leonard Floyd tallied 6.5 sacks as a freshman in 2013, earned All-SEC honorable mention credentials in 2014, then led the team in sacks for a third straight year in 2015 on the way to being named a Butkus Award finalist.
