Tavares Bingham, a defensive end from Georgia Military College, and Marques Rodgers, a running back from Western New Mexico University, were marked as eligible for the 2017 NFL Supplemental Draft, reports Rob Rang of NFLDraftScout.com.
These two athletes missed the deadline to declare their draft eligibility, but are no longer able to compete for a college team (often for disciplinary, academic, or family reasons). The supplemental draft offers them a chance to join an NFL roster in time for training camp. Supplemental draft selections are rare; in 40 years of Supplemental Drafts, only 43 names have been drafted.
