I thank you already, because I know you guys will know the answer. Keep up the great work on the draft talk side.
My wife and I are keeping an eye on this kid from Stanford (no, not Luck), but an OLB by the name of Chase Thomas, who's starting to look really good, that's why we ask the question. Thanks again.

The NFL sets a date where all underclassmen must declare. Say Jan. 15th. The league gives them a few days. One week I believe to change their mind. So to speak. Even if you don't have an agent, you can't go back to school after that change of mind date passes.
For players who don't declare. The league usually has a supplemental draft where players who can't go back to school; drugs, suspensions, discipliniary problems can apply to be taken there. As long as they've been out of high school 3 years. They are usually approved.
