ESPN put out a list of the top 2017 players who stole attention away from 2016 players while watching game film for the 2016 NFL draft.

Florida linebacker Jarrad Davis

Davis jumped off the screen to the point that he was a distraction trying to study the 2016 draft class. He is an explosive athlete who has sideline-to-sideline range and an internal GPS for the football. Although he needs to add bulk and improve his point-of-attack skills, Davis is a name we'll hear a lot next fall as a prospect. "Space" linebackers such as Davis are coveted in today's NFL.

Although former coach Will Muschamp struggled to figure out the offense during his tenure, he left the shelves stocked with defensive talent for Jim McElwain. After having five defensive players drafted in April, including two first-round picks, the Gators should have another strong class for 2017. The class is headlined by Davis but also includes cornerback Jalen Tabor, safety Marcus Maye and defensive end Bryan Cox.
