This year’s NFL Supplemental Draft has been canceled because there weren’t any entrants. Rey Maualuga (USC), Brandon Pettigrew (Oklahoma State) and Michael Brown (Mississippi State) were considering applications, but didn’t follow-through. This is somewhat of a surprise because this Draft has actually been growing in popularity as a road to the NFL for “special case” athletes. Nine players have been selected in the Supplemental Draft over the past decade, including Pro Bowlers Jamal Williams (San Diego Chargers) and Mike Wahle (Seattle Seahawks).

New England’s eight All-Stars equals a franchise high set by the 1985 Pats. The AFC roster includes 18 first-time All-Stars, including Cincinnati WR T.J. Houshmanzadeh, who leads the NFL with 101 receptions.
