Caldwell is the 9th-rated WR prospect.
Welcome to The Show! On Tuesday, NFL prospect and former Florida WR Andre Caldwell will stop by to chat about the NFL draft and his time with the Gators.

Caldwell finished second on Florida with 761 yards and first with seven TDs. Both marks were career highs in his four-year stay in Florida. He was also a big part of Florida's passing attack in 2006 when the Gators won the BCS title. Caldwell finished his junior season with 57 catches for 577 yards and 6 TDs.

According to Caldwell's Scouts Inc.'s draft profile, Caldwell "shows good overall versatility as a receiver, including experience in the slot and split out wide, as well as on reverses. He also has experience returning kicks...He knows how to get open quickly and he possesses the size, agility, hands and toughness to emerge as a very solid No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in the NFL. He projects as a second-round pick in 2008."

Send in your questions now, then join Caldwell on Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET!

Hi everyone, happy to be here to answer any questions you have!

Bubba, how much do you think the talent at Florida limited your production? Do you think you could stand out more in a pro-style offense?

Andre Caldwell
  (1:40 PM)


I think in will be more of a standout in a pro-style offensive. We had a lot of weapons a UF, so I think I would shine more in a pro offensive.

Which quarterback did you work best with: Chris Leak or Tim Tebow?

Andre Caldwell
  (1:41 PM)


I think I like Chris Leak a little bit more. We know we wasn't going to take off and runa whole lot so I got the ball a litte bit more.
