Gilly wouldve been a star if Meyer didn't give Rainey and demps the ball.

None of UF's RBs since Meyer have had solid careers.

Don't even have a combined 2000 yards in the NFL. In fact you can make the case it's the exact opposite, that they were stars here and almost irrelevant in the NFL.
Again they were far better in college than the NFL. they should've been better NFL players than i college.I think you took my comment the wrong way. They were NOT stars at UF in my view, but they had NFL careers. That makes me wonder about coaches at UF and their RB talent evaluation. I also was not excluding Meyer who started this pattern of jerking around RB at UF who were later good enough to make an NFL roster.

Rainey had almost 2500 yds in college and 19 overall TDs
Demps had almost 2500 yds and 24 overall TDs. Neither played much in the nfl
Same goes for Mack Brown. Gilly and Matt Jones are the most successful RBs from UF in the last decade. Even then neither has broke a 1000 yds in their careers in the nfl. I guess we have differing views on success.
It's not possible for anyone to be a star in this offense.Again my only point was that guys who make roster in the NFL should be stars in college. UF has had a number of guys on the offensive side of the ball who were not stars at UF make NFL rosters. This makes me wonder about UF coaches talent evaluation.
It appears he's going to be playing for the Patriots. I'd say the chance of that happening is still pretty great.Gilly wouldve been a star if Meyer didn't give Rainey and demps the ball.

Bills do not match Pats offer....
Former Gator RB Mike Gillislee leaving Buffalo to join New England
https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/f...e-gillislee-leaving-buffalo-join-new-england/
New England’s deal with Gillislee extends for two years at $6.4 million total. After backing up LeSean McCoy last season, Gillislee rushed the ball 101 times for 577 yards and eight touchdowns. Following a sub-par first three years in Gainesville, Gillislee had a breakout year as a senior in 2012. In his final season for Florida, Gillislee rushed for 1,152 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Gillislee was selected in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He lasted only one season in Miami before playing the last two in Buffalo.
This.We have wasted a lot of talent that has come through the Swamp.
