The lure of starting a pro career apparently isn’t quite as tempting for underclassmen now as it was in the days before college stars could profit off their name, image and likeness. “Some of these guys that are out now didn’t come out a year ago because they were enticed to go back for NIL money,” Beane said.

FILE - Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes speaks during a news conference at the NFL football scouting combine, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024, in Indianapolis. The lure of starting a pro career apparently isn’t quite as tempting for underclassmen now as it was in the days before college stars could profit off their name, image and likeness. This month’s draft features 58 early entrants, the lowest number of players to enter the draft with college eligibility remaining since 2011. “I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers drop even more next year,” Holmes said.
