in the future. The covid related additional college eligibility will obviously go away. Those skipping this year because they still have eligibility will run out of that eligibility, so they will just be delaying things for a year. In a year or two the NFL should be getting about the same number as they always have, though the percentage of younger players leaving college early may drop a bit.

These two assertions from the article don't seem to fit well together:
1) "Decosta estimates that 40 college players made more than the 2023 minimum NFL salary of $750,000, with a lot more making $500,000, including a tackle projected to go in the sixth round this week." and 2) "Belzer said that roughly five players per Power 5 roster make more than $100,000."
