The Florida Gators football team will host its annual pro day on Tuesday, March 22 starting around 9 am. Florida will show of its new indoor practice facility, holding positional drills and running drills inside on the turf for the first time ever.
The group of 18 players includes 15 that played with Florida last season, as well as three former Gators who will return to Gainesville for another chance to impress NFL coaches and scouts.
Cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, defensive lineman Jon Bullard and safety Keanu Neal headline that group. Hargreaves is projected to be as high as a top-10 pick and Bullard has gotten projections as high as 18th overall. Neal could be a second round selection.

Bullard, Hargreaves, McCalister, Neal, McGee, Morrison, Robinson and Taylor all earned invites to the NFL Scouting Combine last month. Bullard, McCalister and Hargreaves plan to go through positional drills and will stick with most of their combine numbers.
Jake McGee, who has been dealing with an injury since the Citrus Bowl, will go through the entire workout Tuesday after not being able to participate at the Scouting Combine. Keanu Neal plans to re-run the 40-yard dash. Neal told Gator Country that many teams had him in the 4.5 second range in Indianapolis and he hopes to improve on that number. Kelvin Taylor also hopes to improve on his 40-yard dash time after posting a 4.60 at the combine.
