OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS
3. Jabari Zuniga, 6-3, 264, Florida, 4.64, Sr. — Another defensive end who was asked to work out with the linebackers at the combine, Zuniga is another player who projects as either a 4-3 end or 3-4 outside linebacker. An ankle injury limited him to six games last fall.
4. Jonathan Greenard, 6-3, 263, Florida, 4.87, Sr. — Like Zuniga, his teammate with the Gators, Greenard is likely to play 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL. Earned all-SEC honors after posting 9 1/2 sacks after transferring from Louisville.
CORNERBACKS
2. C.J. Henderson, 6-1, 204, Florida, 4.39, Jr. — Has the size and athleticism to excel on the outside. Six career interceptions and two went for touchdowns when he was a freshman. Strengths: Burst to make up ground. Weaknesses: Locating and playing the ball can be spotty. Fact: Ankle injury limited him to nine games last season, but still had 11 passes broken up. Gone by: Top 20.
