Florida DL Jachai Polite is projected by many to be a mid-to-late first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and he made his presence felt against Michigan on Saturday.
Taking on the Wolverines in the Peach Bowl, Polite had two tackles, both for a loss. The Gators played really well, thumping the Wolverines to the tune of 41-15.
Why did Jim Harbaugh’s squad struggle so much against Polite and the Gators? Polite didn’t hold back after the game, saying he thought the Wolverines came into the game scared:

The season is over for both teams now, so that trash talk doesn’t mean much, but the Gators were clearly the better squad on Saturday.
Now, Polite just needs to hope whatever team drafts him (and if he’s a projected first-rounder, he’ll likely declare soon) drafts a couple of Michigan players, too, so he can make fun of them.
