NEW YORK — For the second straight year, more than 100 players are giving up college eligibility to enter the NFL draft. The league on Friday released a list of 95 underclassmen who have been granted early entry to draft, along with the names of eight other players, including Clemson quarterback and Gainesville High grad Deshaun Watson, who are draft-eligible by completing their college degrees.
