NFL DRAFT 2009

The deadline for underclassmen to apply to the NFL for inclusion in the 2009 draft came and went at midnight last night. Unofficially, 49 juniors and sophomores have indicated they had applied for early entry to the draft, although it is possible that others actually applied but made no formal announcement. The NFL will publish a full list of draft eligible underclassmen within the next few days.Meanwhile, those underclassmen who did apply for the draft have a 72-hour window of opportunity to withdraw their applications starting at midnight tonight as long as they have not signed with an agent.
