NFL gives green light for underclassmen to participate in All-Star games

Good morning, Broncos Country.

Yesterday the NFL announced a major change to their pre-draft process that should bolster the opportunity for a lot of players leading up to the NFL Draft.

For years the All-Star games such as the Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl and HBCU Legacy Bowl only allowed senior prospects [or fourth-year juniors who had completed their degrees] to be a part of their festivities—but not anymore. That changed with the league sending out notices to every team declaring that underclassmen will now be eligible for those events.
