Another barefoot Florida Man is going viral for wrangling an alligator. It happened off I-95 near Jacksonville, Florida.

What's up with all these barefoot Florida men wrangling gators? There seems to be a new story popping up every week with a barefoot Florida man going viral for wrangling an alligator. A few weeks ago, there was the guy who used a trash can to trap a gator while barefoot. Now, it's a barefoot Florida man wrangling a gator just off the highway. That barefoot Florida man has been identified as Mike Dragich. That name sound familiar? Probably because he's the same barefoot Florida man as the previous story! There's not many barefoot wranglers, there's just one and he's apparently very busy!

Barefoot Florida Man Wrangles Alligator

Dragich is known as the "Blue Collar Brawler" on social media where he seems to have quite the presence. This is the 2nd time we've talked about him within a month. This time, he wrestled a giant alligator in the median of I-95/I-295 near Jacksonville.

In the video, he uses a pole to engage the gator and then wrangles it into the shoulder of the highway. He then muzzles the alligator all while cars are going by on the busy highway. It's pretty crazy!

Dragich shared the video to his IG account where he has more than 381K followers. He's a badass, I have to admit it. I would never do what he does. I'm sure this won't be the last we see of him. Has anyone nominated him for Florida Man Of The Year? I think he is making a strong case to win that award if there is such a thing. If not...there should be!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
