For the second summer in a row, the National Football League has made the decision to cancel the (used to be) annual supplemental draft, per NFL reporter Tom Pelissero.

Every year, college players who were ruled ineligible to return to school for the fall campaign for various reasons (academics, legal issues) are allowed to enter the NFL through a supplemental player draft held in July.
