LSU's Reed, MSU's Duckett jump to draft

Add All-Americans receivers Josh Reed of LSU and Jabar Gaffney of Florida to the already impressive list of underclassmen declaring for the NFL draft.

The star receivers and Michigan State running back T.J. Duckett, Tennessee receiver Donte Stallworth and Washington tight end Jerramy Stevens said Thursday they are leaving school early to enter the draft.

Several other underclassmen announced Thursday they were returning to school, including All-American linebacker E.J. Henderson, Wisconsin wide receiver Lee Evans and Penn State defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy.

Today is the deadline for players with remaining college eligibility to decide whether to enter their names in the draft.

At Tennessee, wide receiver Kelley Washington is likely to join Stallworth in the draft. Washington, a 22-year-old freshman walk-on, caught 64 passes for 1,010 yards and five TDs. Washington makes his announcement on Friday.

Among other underclassmen who early declared for the NFL were several other All-Americans -- Florida tackle Mike Pearson, Nebraska guard Toniu Fonoti, Oklahoma cornerback Roy Williams, North Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers and BYU running back Luke Staley.
