Where are the players in the Netflix documentary Untold Swamp Kings today? ft. Urban Meyer, Brandon Siler, and more

The documentary "Untold Swamp Kings" on Netflix offers a deeper look at the Urban Meyer-led Florida Gators football teams of the late 2000s. The team is well-known for producing one of the greatest turnarounds in college football, with many of its players turning into future NFL stars.

If you recently finished watching the four-part documentary, you might be wondering where those former Florida Gators players are now. Well, here's a quick rundown of who's who in the Untold Swamp Kings documentary, where they are now, what they're doing, and where they go from there.

Head Coach Urban Meyer

Let's start with the guy at the helm, Urban Meyer.

Meyer came to Florida in 2005 with a mission to completely revamp the Gators. He eventually won two national titles with the team in 2006 and 2008; he however chose to leave in 2010 because of health problems (via Decider).

Meyer then accepted a head coaching job with Ohio State University and won another title there in 2014. He moved up to the NFL to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars but was fired only a year after being hired. The Jaguars went 2-11 under Meyer.

As of 2023, the ex-Florida Gators coach is a Fox Sports analyst.

Arguably the most famous of all the members of Meyer's Gators teams during those years was Tim Tebow, who won a Heisman Trophy in 2007.

Tebow had numerous stints in the NFL. He played for Denver, New York, New England, Philadephia, and Jacksonville. But his pro career never really took off. After a failed attempt at an NFL return, Tebow now works as a college football analyst and motivational speaker (via TheCinemaholic).

Several of Tebow's teammates also had a chance in the NFL.

• Brandon Siler - Picked in the last round of the 2007 NFL Draft by San Diego, signed with Kansas City in 2011. The linebacker wasn't re-signed in 2012 after his contract expired. Now, he runs two businesses and is a motivational speaker.
• Brandon Spikes - Played in the NFL for the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. He retired in 2016 and is currently a businessman.
• Steven Harris - Went undrafted in 2007 but was signed by the Denver Broncos. He only played for a year until he was released in 2008. He currently lives a private life with his wife Kailla Marie, who is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse/Family Nurse (APRN-FNP-C).
• Dallas Baker - Drafted in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. By 2009, he was out of the NFL and signed for the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League (AFL). He also played in the CFL. He is now a trainer at the Division 1 FBS Baylor University.
• Brandon James - Went undrafted but was signed by the NFL's Indianapolis Colts in 2010. He was released shortly after. With his playing days long behind him, he is now an offensive coordinator at St. Augustine High School--his alma mater.
• Major Wright - Drafted in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, he remained in the league until 2013, also playing for Tampa Bay, before retiring. He is now a motivational speaker and philanthropist.
• Ahmad Black - Drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round of the 2011 draft. He officially retired from the NFL in 2017 and is now coaching DBs at Lakeland High School in Florida.

• Percy Harvin - Selected 22nd overall by the Minnesota Vikings in 2009. He also played for the Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills. He officially retired from the NFL in 2017 and is currently living a low-key, private life.
• Aaron Hernandez - Hernandez was barely mentioned in the Untold Swamp Kings documentary for reasons that we won't mention here. He did, however, get to play for the New England Patriots.
• Chris Leak - Undrafted in 2007 but was signed by the Chicago Bears. He retired from playing in 2012 to focus on broadcasting, and as of 2023, he runs the Air Strike Passing Academy Quarterback Training facility in Florida.

Where are the other members of the Untold Swamp Kings?

As for those who didn't get to go pro, here's what they're doing now.

Tate Casey didn't pursue a pro football career upon graduating in 2008. He did, however, go back to the school in 2018 as a sideline reporter. Casey is now a family man and sales representative.
