The Florida Gators have fallen on hard times in recent years, but the 2024 team ended on a high note, winning its last four games (including victories over ranked teams Ole Miss and LSU) to cap an 8-5 season.

Now members of that squad are headed to the NFL.

Florida has typically featured elite prospects selected in the first round, with six notably going on Day 1 in the past five years.

This doesn't appear to be a year where Florida will have any Day 1 prospects, and the Gators very well may not have any Day 2 players either.

Still, there's certainly talent available out of Gainesville. Wide receiver Elijhah Badger was a big-play threat any time he touched the ball, averaging 20.7 yards per catch (39 receptions, 806 yards, four scores). The same went for wide receiver Chimere Dike (42 catches, 783 yards, two touchdowns). On the ground, running back Montrell Johnson rushed for a career-high 5.9 yards per carry.

The defense, which shined down the stretch (13.0 PPG allowed in four games), also has some talent here. Defensive tackle Cam Jackson received a Round 5 projection from NFL.com ; he's a run-stuffing nose tackle. Linebacker Shemar James amassed 64 tackles, including 11 in a 27-16 upset win over LSU.

The aforementioned Marshall could have very well received a higher projection, but he unfortunately missed the back half of the season with an injured labrum .

And now they all look toward the NFL. Here's a look at their pro landing spots.
