Taylor, Robinson, McCalister To Enter Draft

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators running back Kelvin Taylor and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson plan to enter the NFL Draft.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators running back Kelvin Taylor and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson plan to enter the NFL Draft.

Florida coach Jim McElwain confirmed Monday the two juniors have informed the Gators they plan to forgo their final season of eligibility.

McElwain also said redshirt junior defensive lineman Alex McCalister, who has missed the last three games due to a foot injury, is leaving school to enter the draft.
McCalister was already listed as out for the Citrus Bowl due to a foot injury he suffered at South Carolina on Nov. 14. Meanwhile, Taylor and Robinson will play the final game of their careers in the bowl game.

"I'm expecting those guys to play all-out,'' McElwain said. "They've been working out. I think these guys have a pretty good feeling of they've got one more opportunity to be proud of what they put on film, to show their worth.

"The NFL now is as much obviously about great players as it is character. Here's you opportunity to play your tail off. It says a lot about who you are and how you are going to be as a teammate moving forward. I'm expecting those guys to play all-out."

Taylor has a career-high 985 yards and Robinson has a team-leading 47 catches for 505 yards and two touchdowns.
