NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- A record 65 players, including quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, were given special eligibility for the 2012 NFL draft, the league said Thursday.
Griffin helped Baylor to a 10-3 record en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. Luck, a two-time runner-up in the Heisman voting, guided Stanford to an 11-2 record this past season.
