Florida football was expected to represent well at the 2026 NFL Draft with nine players invited to the combine back in March. The Gators made it by producing a selection in each round for the first time in program history.
For the Orange and Blue, several prospects enter the draft as multiple-year starters at the collegiate level; a few rose through posting impressive marks during pre-draft evaluations. Each heard their names called at some points during the three-day event, with defensive tackle Caleb Banks â who was selected No. 18 overall by the Minnesota Vikings â leading the way.
