NFL Draft 2011 Breaks Record for Underclassmen Declaring Early

One season after tying an all-time high for non-senior draft declarations, those college kids are at it again.
A record 56 players with NCAA eligibility remaining have declared for the 2011 NFL Draft, surpassing last year's total by three. The list of 56 does not include Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, the player widely considered to be drafted first overall as recently as a few weeks ago.
Without a new collective bargaining agreement in place, the players leaving the college ranks behind are risking the chance that there may be no professional football to be played in 2011. Should that transpire -- and every day without a new CBA in place increases the chances of that scenario becoming a reality -- the declared prospects would be ineligible to rejoin their former teams for the 2011 season.
Last season, 14 of the 32 players selected in the first round of the draft left college early. According to FanHouse's mock draft from early January, 15 of the 56 declared non-seniors could be taken in the first round in 2011. FanHouse included eight non-seniors in the top 10 picks, but only Justin Blackmon chose to return to school.
