Right now, there are many college football players who are trying to decide whether or not they should enter the NFL Draft. It’s a tough decision, but my experience tells me that many of these players turn to the wrong people when trying to make that decision.
According to NFL rules, a player must be three years removed from his high school graduation before he is eligible to enter the NFL Draft. In most cases, that means that the player is usually a true junior or a red-shirt sophomore eligibility-wise. There have been a few cases where a player has entered the draft after his freshman year, but that has only happened if he didn’t go directly to college after completing high school.
