Unofficial underclassmen early entry list for the 2015 NFL draft

Now that sthe deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2015 NFL draft has passed, it’s time to look at the player who have made themselves available early to turn pro. This is an unofficial list as players have until Sunday to withdraw their names. The NFL will release an official list on Jan. 19.

The deepest underclassmen position appears to be the running back group. Not sure there’s a bad choice in the bunch. The quarterbacking group is a little smaller than many anticipated with players such as Braxton Miller, Connor Cook, Dak Prescott, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan all returning for another season.

The NFL draft is scheduled for April 30 in Chicago. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the No. 1 overall pick.
