La National Football League ha diramato sabato i nomi dei 73 giocatori che possiedono i giusti requisiti per prender parte da subito al prossimo DRAFT che si terrà dal 25 al 27 Aprile a New York.
Ciascuno dei 73 giocatori ha ottenuto negli ultimi tre anni i giusti risultati per guadagnare l’eleggibilità e ha formulato la propria scelta di concorrere al Draft, rinunciando al college football, entro il 15 Gennaio.
Quest’anno il numero di giocatori che hanno ottenuto questo traguardo supera il numero dei 65 ottenuto nel 2012.
Sono varie le strade che consentono ai giovani giocatori del football di prender parte al DRAFT (i requisiti variano a secondo dell’istruzione e gli anni dal diploma o dalla frequenza dei college/università riconosciuti) e tra queste la ‘special elegibility’ viene concessa da apposita commissione a chi ha conseguito da appena tre anni il diploma della scuola superiore.
Dei 73 giocatori di questa lista 11 provengono dalla Louisiana State University, tra cui l’offensive tackle Chris Faulk, il defensive end Barkevious Mingo e il linebacker Bennie Logan.
