Florida Seniors in the 2023 NFL Draft

Most of the NFL Draft is comprised of seniors who spent four years in college before attempting to enter the pros. This allows those who don't break out early to continue their development in hopes of closing out their collegiate careers strong.

Florida has eight seniors looking to make the jump to the NFL. This group is headlined by guard O'Cyrus Torrence, who is projected as a first-round pick. He's joined by linebacker Ventrell Miller, linebacker Brenton Cox Jr., safety Trey Dean, guard Richard Gouraige, wide receiver Justin Shorter, cornerback Amari Burney and wide receiver Jordan Pouncey.

Most Likely Florida Players to Be Drafted in 2023

The scouting combine hosts the very best from the country for a showcase in front of every NFL front office. However, not every player looking to become a pro is invited to this event. The invite list gives us a good look at the players from each school with the strongest chances of being drafted, or signing as free agents. 

Florida had nine players invited to the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine: Brenton Cox, Trey Dean, Gervon Dexter, Richard Gouraige, Ventrell Miller, Anthony Richardson, Justin Shorter, O'Cyrus Torrence and Rashad Torrence. There's a good possibility most of this group hears their names called at some point during the draft.
