There is a record breaking 98 underclassmen eligible for the NFL draft in May, including Johnny Manziel and Jadeveon Clowney. The deadline for underclassmen to apply was January 15 and the league released the list of entrants Sunday and said the number has risen for six straight seasons. Last year there were 73 underclassmen entered in the draft while there were only 65 the year before and 56 in 2011. There are four players who have recently graduated and eligible who are not included in this number. The most noteworthy player among the list is Teddy Bridgewater of the University of Louisville. Manziel, Clowney, and Sammy Watkins are all expected to be selected early on in the draft which is scheduled for May 8-10 in New York.
