Chimere Dike, Cam Jackson, Jason Marshall Jr., Shemar James, Graham Mertz, Jeremy Crawshaw and Trikweze Bridges were drafted on Saturday in the 2025 NFL Draft. Desmond Watson is officially the heaviest football player signed to an NFL contract.

Florida continued its streak of having a pick in every NFL Draft since 1967. UF is one of three schools, along with USC and Michigan, and is the only SEC program to achieve the mark.

The seven draft picks mark the most for the Gators since eight were selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Chimere Dike (Round 4, 103rd Pick – Tennessee Titans)
Cam Jackson (Round 5, Pick 140 – Carolina Panthers)
Jason Marshall Jr. (Round 5, Pick 150 – Miami Dolphins)
