SpacemanSpiff 93 Posted May 24 Obviously, we've all heard the talk about potential closures of college campuses during football season and things of that nature in related to the COVID-19 crisis. So the question becomes: What effect do we think that may have on the 2021 draft class? How may the NCAA handle eligibility in this case? Would Trevor Lawrence, for example, not come out until 2022 now? How players make decisions about whether to stay as underclassmen is going to be really interesting to watch. What kind of ripple effects do you think we will see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INbengalfan 830 Posted May 24 It won't affect any of the top players. the NFL stipulates that a player must be three years removed from HS in order to be eligible, not that they were in the NCAA three years. If they don't play at all, the middle of the pack underclassmen will probably opt to stay another year and increase their stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwibrown 5,241 Posted May 29 Is it possible to have a few games at the end of the year to improve stock. Senior bowl best of 3 and a 3 year player bowl best of 3? If the cf doesn't go a head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's incredibly dumb, they should be able to go the same "advisor" route that basketball and baseball can and let them return as long as they don't sign with an agent or take money.
