College football underclassmen entering 2022 NFL draft

USA TODAY

With the bowl season complete, premier college football players who have been in school for three or four seasons and still have eligibility remaining must weigh the positives and negatives of returning to continue their college careers or turning professional.

Those players had until Jan. 17 to file declaration papers with the NFL, with a 72-hour period to reconsider after filing. At that time, an official list of underclassmen in the 2022 draft was released by the NFL. The 2022 NFL draft is scheduled to be held in Las Vegas from April 28-30.

Below is the list the NFL released Jan. 21 of the underclassmen who have been granted entry to the 2022 NFL draft.
