The marquee name in this group of Florida<\/a> alums is Atlanta Falcons<\/a> tight end Kyle Pitts. The 2021 No. 4 overall selection earned Second-Team All-Pro honors after the 2025 campaign after hauling in 88 receptions for 928 yards and five touchdowns. He was second only to Trey McBride in both receptions and yards.<\/p>\n Pitts’ 166-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers<\/a> in Week 15 earned him the NFC Player of the Week title. The 2021 pro-bowler was ranked No. 91 in the 2022 top 100 list, but one can anticipate Pitts to rise into the top 40 as the votes come in.<\/p>\n Newly acquired edge rusher Jonathan Greenard should also land firmly in the Top 100 conversation after his trade from Minnesota<\/a> to Philadelphia<\/a> in April. The 2019 First-Team All-SEC selection with the Gators was slated at No. 48 on last year’s list after a breakout 2024 season that saw him record 12 sacks and continues to be regarded as one of the league’s best pass rushers. Expect the 2020 third-round draft pick to come in No. 75 or higher.<\/p>\n Other former Gators with a chance to narrowly make the list include Buffalo Bills<\/a> guard O’Cyrus Torrence and Chicago Bears<\/a> defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. Just outside the rankings but poised for a surge is San Francisco 49ers<\/a> receiver Ricky Pearsall. The 2024 first-round draft pick enters his third season with the\u00a049ers, coming off a campaign where he caught 36 balls on 53 targets for 528 yards.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
