He declared for the draft another possible later round Leo! Didn't watch mutch of him being a fsu fan but I've heard good things about him if he can stay healthy
Don't know what in the world he was thinking. No Gator fans can picture or find any highlights from him this year. He's got a great motor, but he can't shed any blocks 1v1, he is below average in coverage as well. Also supposedly his size will have him playing LB in the NFL, not DE.

 

He was recruited as a 5 star DE out of high school along with Sharrif Floyd but had two ACL injuries keeping him off the field his first two years. Last year was his first season playing with the Gators.

 

He must either be thinking the combine is going to rocket him up with his measureables or he's worried about injuring himself again. He's definitely not leaving based on performance.

Late round pick he would be a nice pick up, he has the build and upside to mature into a good player in the NFL, he is the type a guy u take in the late rounds like D-Rob huge upside. I guess he is leaving due to not wanting to risk getting hurt again and never having a shot at the NFL, he is healthy now.

Only thing I remember about him is watching a Gator game and the announcers were talking about how he was a highly rated guy coming out of high school who has not lived up to the hype. Not good. Isn't Muschamp a D coach who can develope players? This isn't worth a pick IMO

This would be the case if he actually showed something on the field. He was injured 2 out of 3 seasons for Florida and showed little to nothing during his one year on the field.

 

I'd be surprised if he was drafted at all.
Draftscout and CBSsports has him rated as the #5 OLB in the 2015 draft class. The pair of ACL injuries trashed his 2012 season. I think of this 2013 season as one of recovery for him. His 2014 season should be decent. I think he will get drafted, although likely not as high as he probable believes. He should have stayed another year in college.
