This is the most underclassmen given special eligibility since 2014, when 98 players left school early and headed to the league. That was also the most players declaring for the draft in the past 10 years. 

However, declaring for the draft early doesn't automatically spell success as CBS Sports' Dan Brugler pointed out:

There are some big names on this list that will surely headline the draft, including Ole Miss offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil, Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey and Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa, who have been projected by ESPN.com's Mel Kiper Jr. to go near the top of the draft. 

Bosa could go No. 1 overall.

Alabama running back and Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, fresh off a national championship win, is also headed to the draft after his historic junior season that saw him break SEC records for most rushing yards in a season. 

ESPN College Football discussed how Henry might fare at the next level:

He is joined by fellow teammate and defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson.

We'll all be finding out where these underclassmen are headed to begin their NFL journeys on April 28 when the draft kicks off from Chicago, Illinois.
