Brett Heggie 2021 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Joining the NFL Draft pool of prospects this spring, Brett Heggie<\/a> is a solid and gritty center with leadership experience. Heggie joined the Gators as a three-star recruit<\/a> out of Mt. Dora High School in Florida. While he did have a number of other power-five scholarship offers, his decision to join Florida proved fruitful. Granted, he did earn a redshirt during his freshman year. However, Heggie made an impact quickly, playing in eight games as a redshirt freshman. He battled some injuries during his early seasons with the Gators, he still earned regular All-SEC Academic honors. Eventually, during his junior season, Heggie became a 12-game starter, playing both guard positions. During his senior season, Heggie kicked to center and blocked for Kyle Trask<\/a> during a prolific passing season. Heggie rewarded Florida with a 70.4 offensive grade from Pro Football Focus<\/a>, ranking as the 29th-best center in college. Further, his 77.6 pass-blocking grade ranked 23rd-best in college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Given his hard work and low floor, Heggie could end up rising on the boards of some. Even if it\u2019s rising higher on day three, there are people who see the potential in Heggie. Interestingly, a prominent voice in the NFL world raves about Heggie. Charles Davis of the NFL Network said<\/a>, \u201cHeggie battled through injuries in his first two seasons and answered the bell in the SEC against some big-time talents in the past two years. I’m a big fan of his intelligence, toughness, and physicality. He’s going to be dependable.\u201d Davis went on to compare him to Corey Linsley<\/a>, who impressed during his days at California. It may be just one voice, but it\u2019s a strong endorsement for the young blocker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
