Some great quotes about Muschamp.

“Before my season started, I sat down with coach [Will] Muschamp and Dan Quinn (former Florida defensive coordinator who replaced Gus Bradley as Seahawks defensive coordinator), and coach Muschamp said, ‘If you’re going in the first round this year, I’m kicking you out,’" Floyd said.

“So ... I didn’t have to worry about what I was going to do after this season, and it allowed me to focus on my team. And at the end of the year, after the Sugar Bowl, coach came in and shook my hand and said, ‘Congratulations, now go make your name known in the league.’ And that was him telling me to get out of Florida.”

Paul Duhart was picked 2nd overall in 1945 and is thus the highest ever Gator selection though he only played on the freshman team due to WWII.

Chuck Hunsinger was the 3rd overall selection in the 1950 draft. So we've actually had FOUR players be the third overall selection.
