Next week, the NFL hosts its annual supplemental draft. The supplemental draft is an opportunity for players to enter the NFL who have had situations impact their eligibility, causing them to miss the deadline for entering the normal draft. Players like Bernie Kosar, Cris Carter and Ahmad Brooks have all entered the NFL this way.
It’s also generally a huge anti-climax. No one has been drafted in the supplemental draft since 2012, so the date normally comes and goes with little to no fanfare.
This might not be the case in 2015, however. The San Francisco 49ers, along with other needy teams, might be looking to make a pick this year to break the dry spell.
