Six Pro Day participants had the opportunity to play in all-star games after the 2021 season: Carter (Senior Bowl), Delance (East-West Shrine Bowl), Pierce (Senior Bowl), Reese (Hula Bowl), Truesdell (Shrine Bowl) and Valentino (Hula Bowl).

Four former Florida players also competed at the NFL Combine earlier this month, highlighted by Elam. He boosted his draft stock with his 40-yard dash time, recording an official time of 4.39 seconds. That ranked in the top 10 at his position at the Combine, with only seven other corners running a faster 40 time.

Elam was joined at the NFL Combine by Florida teammates Carter, Moon and Pierce. For a full recap of the Gators’ testing results, click here.

UF had eight players selected in the 2021 NFL Draft: tight end Kyle Pitts (round 1, pick 4), wide receiver Kadarius Toney (round 1, pick 20), quarterback Kyle Trask (round 2, pick 64), cornerback Marco Wilson (round 4, pick 136), kicker Evan McPherson (round 5, pick 149), safety Shawn Davis (round 5, pick 165), defensive tackle Tedarrell Slaton (round 5, pick 173) and offensive lineman Stone Forsythe (round 6, pick 208).
