Another Gator streak to consider when choosing a School to play for.

Just like there are Gator players on the NBA Playoff teams and the Champions every year, the same is true in football. Florida has had a former player on a Super Bowl roster for 13 straight years, dating back to the 2003 season when OT Kenyatta Walker and OG Lomas Brown helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat OG Mo Collins and the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.
As the 2016 NFL Playoffs begin this weekend, 15 Gator football players are still competing for a chance to play in Super Bowl 50 on February 7 in Santa Clara, Calif. That's over half of the 29 former Gator's in the NFL.

1 Seed Broncos - WR Andre Caldwell, OG Max Garcia, and LB Lerentee McCray
2 Seed Patriots - LB Jon Bostic. - DE Dominique Easley is currently on injured reserve.
Cardinals - OT D.J. Humphries
Chiefs - WR/KR Frankie Hammond, DT Jay Howard
Steelers - RT Marcus Gilbert. - WR David Nelson & C/OG Maukice Pouncey are on injured reserve and QB Tyler Murphy is on the practice squad.
Bengals - DE Carlos Dunlap, FS Reggie 'freakin' Nelson are on the Bengals #4 in the NFL defense.
Seahawks - DT/ST's Justin Trattou (2 Ints)
Redskins - TE Jordan Reed, RB Matt Jones, and CB/WR Quinton Dunbar. RB Mack Brown is on the practice squad.
Vikings - DT Sharrif Floyd
===============

Starter Openings on the 2016 team to fill include, but are not limited to:

FS Keanu Neal 6-1 216, is the 5th Jr to be a 2016 NFL early departure junior. He joins CB Vernon Hargreaves III, DE Alex McCalister, RB Kelvin Taylor, and WR/KR Demarcus Robinson.
To be appearing in a SB in the near future.... :)

Gator's 2017 OoC Schedule:

Begin the season with Mich in Dallas.
UAB in the middle.
Finish the season with FSU in Gainesville.
Show me a better/tougher OoC schedule anywhere in D1 Football.
Plus we get LSU & Ark, along with the other 6 in the SECe.

Well we play Alabama in 2017, so you must believe we'll be a lot better than UF, which I get.

Why, reFSUcks is always much better than UF,,, and that's why they have the all time W/L record over UF... :cool:

Too bad that UF did't join the ACC, where the competition is always a lot tougher than playing in the SEC... :rolleyes:
 
iG's uneducated 'Eyeball Top 10 Wish List' includes:

Any of the other Top 10 DT's to go with Shavar Manuel would sure be nice.

#1 Safety Deontay Anderson 6-1 202 - Manvel, TX (Trask's teammate)
He's visited at Tx, LSU, Miss
.

#1 TE-H Jacob Mathis 6-4 223 - Tampa, FL
#2 TE-H Nick Eubanks 6-5 215 - Plantation, FL

#2 WR Nate Craig-Myers 6-3 208 - Tampa, FL
(Mc fired the DB coach that recruits that area)

#5 OLB Mack Wilson 6-2 236 - Montgomery, AL
Supposedly a strong Florida lean.

#5 OT Landon Dickerson 6-5 306 - Hudson, NC

#5 ILB Dontavious Jackson 6-2 248 - Houston, TX

#9 WR Keith Gavin 6-3 220 - Crawfordville, FL (Frank's teammate)

#14 OG John Simpson 6-4 280 - N.Charleston, SC

Any of those guys, to go with the other 26 verbals, would make my NSD...

The QB's: -- size and arm strength
Feleipe' Franks - Kyle Trask - Austin Appleby

The RB's: size and speeeeed
Mark Thompson Jr/Juco - Lamical Perine

The WR's: 5-11 4.34/40, 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 4.60/40 -- speeeed to decent height
Dre Massey Jr/Juco - Josh Hammond - Freddie Swain - Rick Wells

The OL: All in the 300 > 340 ready to go range.
OC Brett Heggie - OG Jawaan Taylor - OT Stone Forsythe
=============

Any other Gators with a Top 10 NSD list?
 
NSD is now just 7 days away.

Rivals has #2 DE Antonneous Clayton as a 5 Star.

Scout has #2 RB Mark Thompson as a 5 Star, (#1 JuCo RB).

ESPN has UF with 16 Four Stars, with 8 of those 16 as Top 300's.
Plus 2 JuCo Top 50's, plus the JuCo #1 K, and 4 more that are 1-2 pts from being 4 stars.

~ There are more than 120 other D1 Teams with lower rated recruiting classes....
