Who is eligible

This year five players have been deemed eligible by the NFL after applications were successfully processed by the players. Each player has a circumstance that either prevented them from entering the 2018 NFL Draft or play in the 2018-19 college football season, whether it be academic ineligibility or a suspension.

Here are the five players with scouting reports hyperlinked to each name, where available:
