We’ve had a record number of underclassmen declare for the NFL Draft in each of the last five years. While we’re hoping the trend stops this year and we DON’T hit 100 declarees, it wouldn’t surprise at all. In what is a lackluster senior class as a whole, expect quite a few juniors declare.
Track here for which players declare, by position, our grades on them as they declare, and our article catalog of each player in our 2015 NFL Draft Underclassmen Tracker.
