Four Gators earn NFL Combine invitations
Four Florida Gators will be in attendance during the 2022 NFL Draft Combine.
The NFL released its full list of participants Wednesday, which included Dameon Pierce, Zachary Carter, Jeremiah Moon, and Kaiir Elam.
Pierce and Carter just wrapped up two weeks at the Senior Bowl. During the practices, Pierce was lauded for his pass protection and blocking, as well as running the ball.
“Pierce impressed with explosive burst and strong power in nearly every element of the game,” wrote Dave Richard of CBS. “I noted several times where he had strong cuts to find rushing lanes and evade defenders and also saw him accelerate to top speed in a jiffy, which was good to see from a thick 220-pound back. Best of all, he was a pass-blocking machine, giving some hope that he could contribute as a three-down back as soon as 2022.
The NFL Draft Combine will take place in Indianapolis from March 1 through March 7.
