The NFL draft locked down its talent pool this past week. The deadline for collegiate athletes to declare for the process was last Monday, and they all had three days to change their mind. The 2020 college season was a weird one, with cancellations left and right and a series of players who opted out due to the coronavirus pandemic.
That issue will continue to ravage the landscape as players move towards the professional realm. Already, the league has cancelled the scouting combine and this week they set rules outlawing in-person visits and testing outside of pro days. It will be a fantastically different landscape as teams try to built their offseason plans. Will seniors, like those in this week’s Senior Bowl who opted in dominate the early rounds, or will the norm of the early entrants being the flavor of the day continue?
Here’s a look at the complete list of entrants at least three years removed from their high school days. The first set of 30 names are players who have completed their degree requirements, followed by 98 athletes who have been granted special eligibility. The final group are players who inquired about special eligibility, but were ruled not to need any and are part of the draft process.
