Florida football saw seven players selected in the 2026 NFL draft, marking the first time the program has had one player picked in each round.
While players can now make money in college through NIL, long-term value begins when they sign their first NFL contracts. Each of these players is making at least $1 million a year, with signing bonuses as high as $11.94 million. That kind of money at the beginning of a player's financial journey can reshape their future, regardless of how long they last in the league.
Official numbers aren't exact yet, but Spotrac does a good job of projecting the money each player will make as soon as they are selected. So, let's take a look at the total contract values, average annual values and signing bonuses listed for each Gator that was picked last weekend.
Note: Edge defender Tyreak Sapp (Cleveland Browns), wide receiver J. Michael Sturdivant (Green Bay Packers) and long snapper Rocco Underwood (Philadelphia Eagles) do not have any available contract information listed, since undrafted free agents sign contracts that ignore the rookie wage scale.
Projected total contract value: $21.28 million*
