The declaration deadline for the 2021 NFL Draft has come and gone. With Jan. 18 serving as the final day underclassmen were able to declare for the upcoming draft, teams will now have a more accurate sense of which players will be available to select in April. There were some surprising declarations for the 2021 draft, as well as a few notable players who decided to stay in school for another year. Chris Olave, Derion Kendrick, Desmond Ridder, Zamir White and Bubba Bolden are among those who would have cracked my current top 100 players had they declared for the draft, rather than stay in school for another year.
