The GatorMade program’s second annual Business Break continued on Wednesday with a stop at the New York Stock Exchange.

The group of 15 Florida football players received a tour of the NYSE as traders worked on the floor during morning trading in New York City.

“GatorMade is all about personal and professional development and getting guys at the football program to the business level and networking and everything that encompasses being a great human being and also a great professional in society,” Florida receiver Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman said in the video below.

Gators offensive tackle Jordan Herman also made an appearance on camera and said he wanted to do fashion design and graphic design in the future.

“If I grow my business how I want,” Herman said, “I can list and be on the stock market.”

Florida punter Jeremy Crawshaw added, “It’s super cool to come and see this place in person. It’s even better in person, too.”

GatorMade will make a total of 12 corporate visits in New York City from March 12-19. The players went to the NFL Operations Front Office on Monday and visited LinkedIn on Tuesday.
