ALLEN PARK, Mich. - There were 111 underclassmen that declared for the NFL draft this year - a record high - and after looking at all the numbers, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn is convinced some of them received "bad information" with how high they'll go.
Just looking at the numbers, Quinn said, 70 underclassmen were drafted in 2018, tying a league record, and considering team needs and just the odds he believes quite a few will go undrafted this year. And without a minor league like the recently-shuttered Alliance of American Football there are no places for a lot of these players to go.
