2016 College Football Transfers to Know for the 2017 NFL Draft

Some big names have transferred colleges and Justin Higdon has a look at the players and where they ended up.

When previewing NFL Draft classes, the NCAA's graduate transfer rule has always piqued my interest. When a college football player opts to leave one FBS program for another, he typically must sit out a season before suiting up for his new school. The graduate transfer exception allows for a player who has earned his undergrad degree to move on to another team and play immediately, provided the student athlete is enrolled in a graduate program.

The most successful graduate transfer in recent memory is Russell Wilson.
