Twenty additional players granted special eligibility for 2024 NFL draft

The NFL announced another 20 players were granted special eligibility for the 2024 NFL draft. Those players submitted their petitions before the traditional deadline of Jan. 15.

That brings the total number of players granted special eligibility for the draft to 54. Four underclassmen who have fulfilled their degree requirements with college football eligibility remaining also are eligible for selection.

The league had 34 players apply for special eligibility before the newly instituted early soft deadline of Jan. 5, which was added to assist players and all-star game organizers in the planning and invitation process.

The 54 players granted special eligibility have met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and have submitted to a written application in which they renounced remaining college football eligibility.

The draft is scheduled for April 25-27 in Detroit.
