Over the years, Florida Football has had decent success against QBs who wound up being picked first overall in the NFL Draft. Some of these QBs still went on to long NFL careers. Some of them are now wanted for defrauding their high school football team.

The following are the six most recent QBs who Florida beat during their college career who wound up going number one in the draft.

2018 - Joe Burrow - LSU

Most college football fans remember Joe Burrow from his 2019 campaign when he led LSU to an undefeated season en route to winning the national title. Burrow went on to be selected number one overall by the Cincinnati Bengals and was within an eyelash of winning the Super Bowl during the 2021 season.

But a year prior to the 2019 clash between Florida and LSU, the squads met in The Swamp during Burrow's first season under center with the Tigers.

The Todd Grantham led defense was able to keep Burrow in check, limiting him to 19-34 passing for 192 yards and two interceptions. The second of those interceptions came while Florida was clinging to a one point lead as Brad Stewart returned a pick six to ice the game.
