Florida DT Sharrif Floyd is considered by many as the top defensive tackle prospect in the NFL Draft; however, some critics have questioned his arm length. Floyd does not believe that to be the case. ‘In my eyes there is no road-block that is going to stop me,’ Floyd said. ‘A lot of people ask me ‘do you feel as though your arms are short’ and I say ‘I don’t play like my arms are short.’ So my tape speaks for itself and the type of person I am speaks for itself.’

Our View: Floyd could be a top five pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He’s scheme versatile and can play DE in a 3-4 or DT in a 4-3. Floyd is a two gap defender who can stuff the run in the middle of the line. He gets off the snap quickly and has a strong lower base to drive back opponents.
