Monday, Jan. 16 was the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. In order to receive special eligibility to declare, players must be three years removed from high school.
Last year saw 73 underclassmen declare early for the 2022 draft and an additional 27 players who had remaining collegiate eligibility but had already fulfilled their academic requirements.
The NFL will not release the official list of approved underclassmen until after it is released to all 32 NFL teams on Jan. 20.
