In any case, that’s a scary situation for Floyd. He’s in his first season as an assistant coach for the Cowboys. Prior to joining the Cowboys, he was a student assistant for Florida’s football team over the past couple of seasons.
As a player, Floyd was a first-team All-American for Florida back in 2012. He also earned first-team All-SEC honors for that season. He went on to become a 1st round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and played several season for the Minnesota Vikings.
