GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- The Florida Gators on Thursday held its annual Pro Day as its current group of outgoing players pursue the next level of their football careers.
20 total players, including two former Gators in offensive linemen Max Garcia and Michael Tarquin, were in attendance for the event in front of over 70 scouts from all 32 NFL teams and the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

"Great day for this group," head coach Billy Napier said. "We've gotten great rave reviews from all the NFL organizations about this group in terms of how they prepared, how they performed so far, the interview process yesterday, today. So, really proud of this group."
It should be noted that not all players who were listed as Pro Day participants participated in every drill as many already recorded strong numbers at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Those who are not listed under a specific workout did not participate in said workout.
Gators Illustrated compiled numbers from some of the workouts media were able to see, including bench press, 40-yard dash and the vertical jump. Numbers from those workouts, as well as various clips from throughout the day, can be viewed below.
