As usual, the Florida Gators will take on some of the best teams in the country in 2016, but these five players could give the Gators’ defense some massive headaches.

The SEC is filled with talent — you might have heard. Just last year, Alabama RB Derrick Henry ran away with the national title and Heisman Trophy. Henry might have taken his talents to the NFL, but there are still plenty of great running backs — and players in general — lurking around in college football.

For instance, LSU running back Leonard Fournette is being predicted by many to come away with the Heisman, but more from that later.

The Gators might not have a Heisman contender on their hands entering the season, but you never know, right? Nonetheless, they will be going up against some players who could run away with the Heisman, but it is these five guys who will give Jim McElwain’s defense the most problems.
