This Florida Gators star could be the biggest sleeper on the final day of the NFL Draft.
The Florida Gators have seen three of their players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft thus far, with defensive tackle Caleb Banks, center Jake Slaughter and offensive tackle Austin Barber all coming the board.
Banks went to the Minnesota Vikings with the 18th overall pick while both Slaughter and Barber were selected in the second and third rounds, respectively.
There aren't many more Florida players expected to be drafted in the final day on Saturday, but there is one Gators standout who could ultimately represent the biggest sleeper available: cornerback Devin Moore.
We've seen a large number of cornerbacks already get selected over the first couple of days, and while there are still a handful of really good corners (like Tennessee's Jermod McCoy) still available, Moore could end up being the best of them all.
Moore isn't flashy, but he stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds, giving him beyond elite size for the position.

The Naples, Fl. native spent four years at Gainesville and is coming off of a 2025 campaign in which he registered 35 tackles, a couple of interceptions and three passes defended in 11 games.
Yes, Moore's injury history is a bit concerning and is one of the primary reasons he has fallen to Day 3, but as a mid-to-late round pick, you are looking at a potential steal.
Moore is a physical defensive back who looks very smooth in coverage and compensates for his lack of top-end speed by taking long strides thanks to his long legs. He is also a very good tackler and could comprise a terrific option to defend bigger receivers in red-zone situations.
Because cornerback is such a premium position, Moore is one of the most intriguing prospects remaining as we head into the last four rounds of the NFL Draft, and so long as he stays healthy, he actually could develop into one of the best corners in this class.
He is certainly unique; that's for sure.
