2010 NFL Draft

Meyer had wanted to throw Hernandez off the team for his chronic marijuana use but relented after an appeal from Tebow. However, after Hernandez's junior year Meyer told him that he would not be welcome back for the fourth year and that he would have to try to get picked up by a professional team in the 2010 NFL Draft. Hernandez finished his college career with 111 receptions for 1,382 yards and twelve touchdowns. Florida coaches aligned Hernandez with Maurkice and Mike Pouncey. He reportedly grew close with the twins after rooming with them and staff considered the Pouncey's a positive influence on Hernandez.
