The 2024 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and as April 25 approaches, 32 teams around the league are dotting the “i's” and crossing the “t's” on their draft boards. Florida State sent 12 of his players to the NFL Combine, many of whom were top performers in their respective categories.
One of the standout players, Florida State defensive end Jared Verse, went on to have a productive career in Tallahassee.

NFL draft analyst Ryan Fowler first reported that the Dayton, Ohio, native could showcase his talents on a trip to Atlanta, where he hopes to move into the top 30.
The Atlanta Falcons are currently scheduled to acquire a first-round pick at No. 8 and a second-round pick at No. 43. Vaas is returning after back-to-back nine-sack seasons, and his impact will be felt in 2023, not just in his stats but in how teams have to prepare for him. Depends if it wasn't there.
“I think the best players should be selected first,” Vaas told the media in an interview at the NFL Combine. “I don't think there's anything wrong with that, so the best players should be selected first… I definitely think they should be considered.”
The Falcons desperately need the high level of production that Vers will bring. He's projected to be a first-rounder wherever he ends up, and would be a great option in Atlanta. During his time with the Garnet and Gold, the All-American recorded 70 tackles, 21 lost tackles, 18 sacks, one forced fumble and recovered two in 21 games.
Barth's draft score is currently 84, ranking him the third-best edge defender in the upcoming draft. He was 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighed 235 pounds, and had a 33 1/2 inch wingspan.
