DEAL CONFIRMED: Gators Welcomes Another Key Player Who Has Today Signed With The Club On The Opening Day Of The NRL Free Agency
Five Florida players get shot at playing in the NFL after signing as undrafted free agents.
Florida had just three players selected in the NFL draft, held last week in Las Vegas, marking the program’s fewest draft picks in a decade.
Outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon was projected to hear his name called in the sixth or seventh round, but he ultimately went undrafted.
Running back Malik Davis is following Pierce to the Lone Star State, having signed a free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Tyrone Truesdell and Antonio Valentino
Prior to last season, defensive tackles Tyrone Truesdell (Auburn) and Antonio Valentino (Penn State) arrived at UF through the NCAA transfer portal.
Having completed their collegiate careers in Gainesville, the duo will now begin professional careers in the same location.
Truesdell and Valentino are headed to the Meadowlands, signing with the New York Giants.
Rounding out UF’s list of undrafted free agent signees is another transfer: offensive lineman Jean Delance.
But Delance’s film left something to be desired, and he struggled in the run game during his UF career.
Nevertheless, the Chicago Bears remained intrigued and signed Delance to a free agent deal within 24 hours of the conclusion of draft.
