Of the 103 underclassmen who received special eligibility to enter the 2019 NFL Draft, 30 went undrafted (29 percent). For them, an opportunity to make an NFL roster will have to come as an undrafted free agent, and many receive contract offers in the immediate aftermath of the draft.
Last year, 35 percent of underclassmen went undrafted.
Among the most notable underclassmen to go unselected include Georgia RB Elijah Holyfield and Colorado State WR Preston Williams.
