Which College Football Freshmen Could Be One-and-Done If the NFL Allowed It?

The ink is barely dry on the 2018 NFL draft, which means 2019 mock drafts are already spreading like wildfire.

That got us thinking: Which incoming freshmen would be the top candidates to jump to the NFL after just one season if college football had a one-and-done option like basketball has?

It will probably never happen. With limited exceptions, 19-year-old kids would not be capable of undertaking the physical demands of the NFL without suffering a catastrophic injury. But some of these freshmen are so highly touted and so large for their age that they would at least be worth a flyer in next year's draft.
