A Look at the 56 Early Entries to the 2011 Draft



This year there will be a record number of underclassmen who have declared for the NFL draft. The CBA uncertainty probably contributed to the 56 early entries, as all of these young men must be aware that there will be a rookie pay scale in place in the coming years.
