Record 65 players enter draft early

Six players from the Allstate BCS Championship Game -- including Alabama tailback Trent Richardson and LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne -- are among college football's underclassmen declaring for the NFL draft.

They've got plenty of company.

The two All-Americans are among a record 65 players who have been declared eligible for the April draft, a field that also includes Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and runner-up Andrew Luck as the top quarterbacks. Counting Richardson, the top three Heisman vote getters are all leaving early to start cashing NFL paychecks.

It seems like more and more players leave early every year, eventually it will have to stop. But every year the best draft talent is always juniors, but the whole LSU/Alabama could go pro if they really wanted to.
