NEW YORK — Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and Ohio State stars Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott are among 96 players granted early entry into the NFL draft.
The NFL also gave clearance to enter the draft to 11 other players who have graduated with eligibility remaining, including Florida State kicker Roberto Aguayo.
The 96 early entrants are up 22 from last year, but still short of the 98 who declared for the 2014 draft. That was the most players entering early in the last 10 years.
Ohio State, with nine, had the most players on the list of 107 released Friday by the NFL.
