    A record 73 underclassmen, including six first-team All-Americans, were approved for the NFL draft on Saturday.

    That number was eight more than last year.

    The six All-Americans were safety Matt Elam of Florida, tight end Zach Ertz of Stanford, tackle Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M, defensive end Bjoern Werner of Florida State, linebacker Jarvis Jones of Georgia and cornerback Dee Milliner of national champion Alabama.

    Only Elam is not projected as a high first-round pick, but all six easily could go in the opening round on April 25.
