The GatorMade program’s second annual Business Break is underway in New York City this week, and the UF football players have already made a couple notable stops.
On Monday, the group of 15 student-athletes visited the NFL Operations Front Office, where they had the opportunity to learn more about various NFL initiatives and what goes into running one of the world largest sports leagues.
“We’re at the NFL Headquarters, about to talk business with these guys,” Florida cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. in a video from Florida Football’s Instagram. “Just got done walking, here to see what it’s about.”
The Florida players spent Tuesday at the LinkedIn office in the Big Apple. They learned how to improve their LinkedIn profiles and better network on the platform. GatorMade will make a total of 12 corporate visits from March 12-19.
The players who made the trip are Marshall, Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman, Hayden Clem, Jeremy Crawshaw, Hayden Hansen, Jordan Herman, Cam’Ron Jackson, Carlson Joseph, Dakota Mitchell, Adam Milhalek, Tyreik Norwood, Ethan Pouncey, Duece Spurlock, Sebastian Vargas and Rocco Underwood.
