Quarterbacks Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson and Josh Rosen are among the record 106 collegians given special entry to the NFL draft, making it four of the last five seasons in which at least 95 players have declared early.
The NFL on Friday released the official list of college players who have requested early entry. An additional 13 players who had eligibility remaining are eligible for the draft after notifying the NFL that they had completed requirements for a degree, including Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen. Another four players, including Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee, had inquired about their draft status and were eligible without the need for special eligibility.
