"In conjunction with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the [URL='https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/AFL-AFCA-Reach-Agreement-Regarding-Expanded-Contact-with-Underclassmen.aspx']NFL announced Monday[/URL] that FBS schools, beginning in February 2017, can “designate a maximum of five underclassmen who may apply for special eligibility for the 2018 draft to be permitted additional scouting.”

This means those five players, all of whom will return to school in 2017, can be “timed, tested and interviewed” during a school’s pro day event, which is usually reserved for seniors and other draft-eligible players. The goal here is twofold. Teams will have additional information about prospects and, in turn, can give prospects more accurate feedback about where they may fit in in the draft."
