The numbers are growing daily, four more underclassmen are planning on declaring their intentions on entering the 2007 NFL Draft within the next few days. The deadline for under-classmen declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft is January 15th, and we should expect to hear about more almost daily until then.
As reported right here on this blog last week after the 2006 Sugarbowl, it's now official, LSU Junior Quarterback Jamarcus Russell will be in the 2007 NFL Draft. I predict he will be the 1st over-all pick of the Oakland Raiders.
Also, sophomore Sidney Rice, South Carolina's career leader in touchdown receptions, is forgoing his final two seasons to enter the 2007 NFL Draft. In two seasons, Rice caught 23 TDs to set the school's career mark. Big, tall and fast, with a ton of potential, Rice should be a mid to late first round Draft pick.
ESPN's Joe Schad is also reporting that Miami junior linebacker Jon Beason said Sunday he will enter the NFL draft. "I wanted to play for coach [Randy] Shannon," Beason said. "But the risk in not coming out is just too much. Selfishly I have to go. I'm ready now to bring my intensity and passion to an NFL team."
Lastly, Arkansas is now losing two of its top defenders to the NFL Draft, defensive end Jamaal Anderson and all-SEC cornerback Chris Houston. Anderson led the SEC in sacks with 10½ in the regular season and added three in the Capital One Bowl. Houston is a cat quick 5-11 181 pound cornerback that finished the season with 45 tackles, a team-high three interceptions and 13 pass break ups.
