Gators in the playoffs: A Wild-Card recap

On3 imageby: Keith Niebuhr01/13/26NiebuhrOn3

The Florida Gators had more than a dozen former players on NFL teams competing in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. And from that group, it was receiver Demarcus Robinson who shined brightest.

After a fairly quiet regular season (22 catches for 276 yards), Robinson was a star for San Francisco in the 49ers’ win over Philadelphia, the defending Super Bowl champs. He finished with six catches for a team-high 111 yards and one touchdown. That was the most receptions for Robinson in his eight career playoff games.

Afterward, FOX Sports announcer and NFL legend Tom Brady awarded Demarcus Robinson with the LFG Player of the Game.
