Three years in college and they’re coming to the NFL. The NFL has released the list of players who have been cleared to run in the next Draft following just three years in the college ranks. They are 69, including CJ Stroud, a quarterback who should be selected very high in the first round.
In addition, 13 additional players will be present without having spent four years at university. But they managed to graduate. A list in which we find Will Anderson and Bryce Young, candidates for first place overall.
It’s a formality for the NFL to allow players to appear in the Draft following three years of college, but the list has the merit of formalizing things.
