That's a big list. By my count, that's 119 early entrants. So far. Heisman-winning, possible baseball-playing Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has yet to state his intentions. Neither has Alabama's duo of Mack Wilson, and Anfernee Jennings or LSU's Devin White.

Alabama was hit hard by players leaving early. They'll be ok. They just reload. 
The list isn't official until the NFL posts the official list a few days after tomorrow's declaration deadline but this year's total should shatter the early entry record of 107 set in 2016. Here are the early entry numbers for the last ten years. 
2009: 46
2010: 53
2011: 56
2012: 65
2013: 73
2014: 98
2015: 74
2016: 107
2017: 103
2018: 106

It looks like numbers in the 100s are routine now.

It's ridiculous that some players get criticized for staying in school. It's their decision. It's their life.
