Florida Gators’ Mike Gillislee impresses scouts at 2013 Senior Bowl practice
Mike Gillislee looks greats at Senior Bowl practices

After becoming the first Florida Gators running back to eclipse the 1,000-yard barrier since Ciatrick Faison in 2004, the senior still needed to prove he could sustain his success, or even improve upon it, against the best the nation has to offer.
The 2013 Senior Bowl and its week of practices leading up to it provided him with his first opportunity to dominate the rest of the nation's top seniors.
Yes, Gilly was free'd as a senior, rushing for 1,152 yards and 10 touchdowns on an SEC-leading 244 carries. However, he had only taken 145 handoffs in his first three years on campus combined. Thus, he has relatively low mileage, a benefit as running backs are seen as generally having a very limited shelf life.
His quick bursts to and through the line of scrimmage, as well as elite lateral movement, has made him a rising star as the NFL Draft approaches.
In fact, word is that Bengals owner and general manager Mike Brown was smitten by Gilly and talked to a number of scouts about this proud Gators' star.
Gilly has been extremely impressive thus far
