For Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd, he went into the first preseason game looking to get after rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. While that's not much of a surprise, as players seem to love trying to get into the head of top rookie quarterbacks, this situation was a bit different.

As Jason Parker of Gamedayr reported, Floyd actually had a dream that he was the first player to sack Winston in his NFL career. His reasoning? The good old Florida Gators vs. Florida State Seminoles rivalry.

Parker points out that while Floyd was a former Gator, he never got to face Winston in college, as he was drafted before Winston played his first collegiate snap.

Have to love the big-time college rivalries still remaining strong in the NFL.
