Steve Spurrier, Jr., tweeted yesterday that a record 74 underclassmen have declared. It's insane. I can see the logic for kids who are likely to go in the first round, and for running backs -- but most would be better off staying another year.
Many of these players will never get drafted and never play a down of professional football. Would suck to trade your never-to-be-replaced senior year
for the unemployment line.

With this being considered one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, I would assume that kids are thinking if they leave early that they could improve their draft stock. Not saying it's smart, but I think a lot of late round guys are figuring they'd stand a chance of being drafted a littler higher this year than waiting a year in a potentially stronger draft class and be drafted later.

Here is the 73 players that have been granted eligibility.
73 players granted special eligibility for the 2013 NFL draft.
Fluker is not listed. Guess he's not considered an underclassman.
