76 college underclassmen have decided to enter the 2015 NFL Draft this year and while they have until Monday to change their minds, there’s a good chance that most won’t.
Three of the Pittsburgh Steelers first four picks last year were underclassmen. First-round selection Ryan Shazier from Ohio State. Second-round pick Stephon Tuitt of Notre Dame and fourth-rounder Martavis Bryant of Clemson.
Including last year the Steelers have drafted an underclassman with their first-round pick in eight of the past 11 drafts.
