The Florida Gators have produced 56 total first-round NFL draft picks in program history, the sixth-most in the nation.
Just in the last 10 years, Florida has had multiple players chosen in the first round on four occasions, and while there’s never been a No. 1 overall pick from Florida, scores of Gators have gone on to NFL stardom.
2010 was Florida’s best year for first-round talent in recent NFL history, as three Gators – Joe Haden, Maurkice Pouncey and Tim Tebow – were selected within the first 25 picks.
Here’s a look back at every Florida Gators star drafted in the first round of the NFL draft since 1997.
