PrintThe National Football League announced today the names of 53 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2010 NFL Draft on April 22-24.
The NFL Draft will start in primetime for the first time in 2010. The first round will be held on Thursday, April 22 at 7:30 PM ET. The second and third rounds are set for Friday, April 23 at 6:30 PM ET. Rounds 4-7 will be held on Saturday, April 24 at 10:00 AM ET. The entire NFL Draft will be televised by NFL Network and ESPN.
Each of the 53 players has met the league's three-year eligibility rule and each has submitted a written application in which he renounced his remaining college football eligibility. The deadline for receiving applications was January 15.
The 53 players this year match the total number that was granted special eligibility in 2008. Last year, special eligibility was granted to 46 players.
The players granted special eligibility for the NFL Draft the past 10 years:

SNEAD FOR HEISMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111!!!!!!
Titans Blogger at Music City Miracles even though gramsey hates it.
"What if I was Peyton Manning?"- CJ to the ref after they picked up a personal foul flag for a late hit on him.
probably riding his wave of "popularity" while he can
i mean, if i was some no name quarterback that scouts fell in love with for no reason and stunk up the latest playing year, i’d try to make the most of becoming a pro andgetting whatever money i could.
even if hes picked in the 2nd round or so, its still more money than most jobs could sniff at. its not like hes tim tebow and could revel in some love fest they have going on for him at school.
wonder what team takes him…probably the rams
Suprised
that there weren’t more. I would think a lot of juniors would be worried about possible strike happening for the 2011 season so they would want to come out now.
Taylor Mays > Eric Berry
And also
there’s always the possibility that the NFL does something about the nutty contract amounts in the top part of the first round. When teams are scrabbling to get out of the first pick in the draft, things have obviously gotten out of control.
If I were a college super star with top 10 pick ability, I’d want to get in the draft before that gets fixed.
We’re probably another few years with stuff like happened with SF to go before it gets seriously addressed, tho.
probably b/c of all the kiffin crap
he decided to come out early
earl thomas
Man.. That’s sucks..I’m a UT fan and that’s gonna hurt somewhat..dammit.. We’ll I guess muschamp has his work cut out considering he has the best defense recruiting class coming in this year coming up..dam u earl !
