With the college football season over and the date for early entrants to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft passed, the NFL has released the official list of non-seniors who can be taken. College players must be out of high school for at least three years before applying.
There were 103 underclassmen granted special eligibility for the 2019 NFL Draft, according to NFL Media. An additional 32 players "in timely fashion under NFL rules officially notified the league office that they have fulfilled their degree requirements." Another nine players inquired about their draft status and are eligible for selection without the need for special eligibility.
Of those 103 underclassmen granted special eligibility, 30 went undrafted. The prior year had seen 35 percent of underclassmen go undrafted. An additional 19 players went undrafted from those other two aforementioned categories.
Here are some other key dates to know:
- Jan. 24: Full list of approved early entrants presented to all 32 teams
- Jan. 25: Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama
- Feb. 24-Mar. 2: NFL Scouting Combine, Indianapolis, Indiana
