EARLY ENTRIES

  • In the 2020 NFL Draft, 21 out of 99 (approximately 21%) early entrants went undrafted; in past years, approximately 33% of early entrants have gone undrafted on average
  • On average, approximately 70% of players drafted in the 6th round or later do not make the team’s 53-man roster.
  • 1 out of 12 (8%) undrafted rookies make the 53 man roster.

How Contingent Is Success To Draft Position?

Correlation between Draft Position & "Starter Status":

Nearly 30% of all starters were 1st round draft picks when drafted into the league

Roughly 30% were taken in either the 2nd or 3rd round

Roughly 26% were taken in either rounds 4 through 7

Undrafted players (14%) were the 3rd most likely group to comprise starters…only behind 1st round (30%) and 2nd round (18%) picks.
