We’ve found out the names of players eligible for the 2016 NFL Supplemental Draft. Do any jump out at you?
The 2016 NFL Supplemental Draft is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, and six players are eligible to be drafted. Players must apply for eligibility because it requires they have not been eligible for the regular draft back in April. Usually legal or academic issues lead to this, but there can be a variety of reasons. Per Ian Rapoport, this year’s list of eligible players includes:
Eddie D’Antuono, LS, Virginia Tech
Ra’Zahn Howard, DT, Purdue
Jalen Overstreet, RB, Sam Houston State
Tee Shepard, DB, Mississippi
Rashaun Simonise, WR, University of Calgary
Cameron Walton, DE, Concordia, Alabama
Shepard is arguably the most interesting of the prospects in terms of why he is in the draft.
