Florida running back Jadan Baugh draws first-round NFL draft projections

Florida running back Jadan Baugh is emerging as a potential first-round prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft following a strong start to his junior season. In the team's season opener against Florida Atlantic, Baugh recorded 160 rushing yards and three touchdowns. These performances have earned him an early projection as the No. 14 overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings in recent mock drafts. Analysts highlight Baugh’s physical profile and ability as a three-down back, noting his effectiveness both as a runner and a receiver out of the backfield. Baugh is currently focused on his season with the Gators under head coach Jon Sumrall. If he maintains his current level of play, he remains a candidate for early selection in the upcoming draft cycle.
