Gervon Dexter discusses difficult decision to leave Florida to declare for 2023 NFL Draft
Gervon Dexter is an intriguing prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft class. Earlier this year, he was receiving some Round 1 buzz, but that has since quieted.
Now at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Dexter will be trying to prove that he should be an early round pick in April in Kansas City.
How difficult was the decision to leave Florida as Billy Napier continues to rebuild the Gator program? Dexter discussed that on Wednesday:

“It was a tough decision and it came down to the last minute,” Dexter explained.
Now the decision has been made, though, and Dexter will try to put his best foot forward this week in Indy. In 2022, he recorded 55 tackles (4 for a loss), 2 sacks, 1 interception and 1 pass breakup.
