For the fifth time in 11 Gators games this season, the Detroit Lions had an official scouting presence for a game involving the University of Florida football team.
The Lions were among the handful of NFL teams credentialed at Vanderbilt on Saturday for the Commodores game against the visiting Gators. With Vanderbilt relatively light on prospects and at least two Gators commonly projected as top-50 overall talents at positions where the Lions figure to have draft interest, it’s easy to understand the appeal of the game in Nashville.
