NFL Supplemental Draft 2019: Date, Order, Rules, Eligible Prospects

NFL teams are back on the clock. Well, kind of.

On Wednesday, the 2019 NFL supplemental draft will take place, with five college players available to be selected. But this draft doesn't operate like the NFL draft, which took place in late April and featured the top eligible players coming out of college. And the supplemental draft typically isn't as busy.

Players who enter the supplemental draft normally do so because of academic ineligibility or looming suspensions. However, this provides a chance for NFL teams to acquire these players before the former college athletes become undrafted free agents.
