Yet another record was broken today when 73 players formally pledged their early enrollment to be eligible for this year's NFL draft.
Not shockingly, this broke the record set last year.
Perhaps the most impressive is the 11 players from LSU (yes that includes Tyrann Mathieu, so 10 who actually suited up and played for the Tigers this year.).

They lost 11 players and they might win 11 games next year with the talent they have every year.

The rookie salary cap only affects the top half of the 1st round of the draft.
What does that have to do with the other 65 guys listed?
