The 2019 NFL Draft is still a few months away, held April 25-27 in Nashville, Tennessee, but the list of players available beyond seniors has grown.
The NFL granted 103 players eligibility for the draft who have met the league's three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility. Last year a record 106 players were granted eligibility. Many of the players made their intentions known as soon as their college seasons ended.
In addition, 32 players who have fulfilled their degree requirements, even though they still have eligibility remaining, are also eligible for the draft and did not need special permission. Nine players also inquired about their draft status and are eligible without the need for special eligibility.
