NFL Draft Buzz Florida DE Earl Okine

Earl Okine has tremendous size and speed. The defensive end saw action in the last 26 games played by the Florida Gators. Appearing in 41 at Florida, NFL scouts have plenty of film to devour over this long, tall, powerful defensive end. Since the Gators have wrapped up the season, Okine has been a guy rising up NFL Draft boards. Per source College2Pro.com has learned that Okine had a private workout this morning with the New England Patriots with both Head Coach Bill Belichick and Director of Player Personnel  Nick Caserio in attendance. Team's looking for cheaper NFL Prospect similar to BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah are starting to take notice of Okine.
