This under-the-radar Florida Gators star has been connected to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Florida Gators do not have a whole lot of top-tier talent heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. It's basically defensive tackle Caleb Banks and then a considerable dropoff.
However, Florida does have one sleeper who could end up being one of the biggest steals in this year's draft class: cornerback Devin Moore.
Gordon McGuiness of Pro Football Focus recently ran a three-round mock draft, and he projected Moore to go 76th overall to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Given that the Steelers definitely need help in their secondary, Moore would certainly be a great pickup for them.
He also could end up representing one of the top corners to come off the board in general.
There is a whole lot to like about Moore. He stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds, so he boasts elite size for the cornerback position. When he has been healthy, Moore has displayed potential lockdown ability.
In 11 games this past season, Moore registered 35 tackles, a couple of tackles for loss, an interception and four passes defended.

The problem for Moore has been injuries, as he never played a full season until 2025. He arrived at Florida in 2022 and topped out at seven contests before his final campaign in the Swamp.
In a draft class that is very deep at the cornerback position, Moore's questionable durability could certainly hurt him, which is a large reason why many have him tabbed as a third or fourth-round pick this April.
Otherwise, Moore has all of the tools to be an early-round selection, and there is no doubt that he will be one of the most intriguing defensive backs to monitor at the NFL Scouting Combine this week.
It wouldn't be surprising if Moore sneaks into Round 2 of the draft if he puts together a strong showing in Indianapolis.
A whole lot can change between now and late April, and while Avieon Terrell, Jermod McCoy and Mansoor Delane may be the biggest names at cornerback, Moore could end up being the jewel of the class.
