Since Jan 15th will soon be coming, please post any players that declare to enter the NFL draft early here.

I'd like to keep track of some of the big names leaving college early.

PSU JR LB Navarro Bowman will be leaving early from PSU. Tough loss.

Does anyone know the date that the NFL returns the evaluations to the underclassmen?

Good luck to Gibson. This has been a foregone conclusion for sometime now.

I think he'll be a very good pro. Not the level of an All Pro, but he's so versatile that I think he'll make some team really happy.

Still waiting on Chekwa and Heyward, so that means everyone else is back.

Just read some draft projection page, and it had Gibson as a 5-6 rounder. Not sure if it was a reliable source or not, but that was surprising.

I figured he could be anywhere from a 2-4th rounder.. 5th and 6th is a little surprising.

Benn didn't have a reliable QB to get him the ball. The guy is a beast and will be good in the NFL. He is someone that will wow people at the combine.

Florida is losing Haden, Hernandez, and maybe one of the Pouncey twins, Dunlap, Major Wright. Pouncey and Dunlap's parents want them to stay. Wright said if he decides to go he's going no matter where his projection is. They will all decide by this weekend.

Snead has his degree already. I don't even think he will stick on a roster. I think he just didn't like Nutt.

Snead probably knew if he came back for another year he might not get drafted at all.

He is not a good QB and just torched his draft stock this year.

Yeah I'd say McKnight thought thought he might have a suspension looming. McKnight could have used another year to improve his stock
