Everything you need to know about the 2018 NFL supplemental draft

The NFL will hold their 41st annual supplemental draft on July 11 at 1 p.m. ET and for the first time in three years, there are actually some prospects who might get selected. Isaiah Battle was the last player to be picked in a supplemental draft when the St. Louis Rams gave up a fifth-round draft choice for him in 2015 and only 43 players have ever been taken dating back to 1977.

Open to players who did not declare for the main draft in April, but are still three years removed from high school, supplemental draft applicants are traditionally underclassmen who have been ruled ineligible for the upcoming college season, often due to academic or disciplinary reasons.
