Memphis has had an interesting off-season. It is one that they aren’t so accustomed to. Only three players since 2000 have elected to give up remaining eligibility. This year, that number bumped up to five. Two juniors, in Darrell Henderson and Tony Pollard, decided to forego their senior years and declare for the 2019 NFL Draft—something that has not been seen since former Tiger quarterback, Paxton Lynch, was selected in the first round of the 2016 draft. Since then, kicker Jake Elliott was the lone draftee out of Memphis in 2017, and wide receiver Anthony Miller & linebacker Genard Avery were drafted last year.
