Earnest Graham

If one were to make a Mount Rushmore of Florida Gator running backs, Earnest Graham would have a strong case to make that list.

Graham is still the fourth-leading rusher in Florida Gators history, with 3,085 yards rushing between 1998 and 2002. He's also fourth on the all-time list in rushing touchdowns, with 34 runs into the endzone.

His senior year in 2002 he ran for 1,085 yards rushing, but that was only 50th best in the country and like everyone else on the list he too went undrafted.

Graham was able to carve out a home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was with the team from 2003 through 2011. In 2007 he had his first shot at significant NFL carries and ran the ball 222 times for 898 yards and ten touchdowns.

His son, Myles Graham, is a freshman linebacker with the Gators.
