The NFL's supplemental draft is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 12 at 1 p.m. ET and will afford teams the opportunities to select several players that were ineligible for this year's NFL Draft.
The supplemental draft provides a second path or chance if you will to the NFL and gives teams the opportunity to pick them. However, that opportunity comes at a stiff price as teams who select a player must forfeit its corresponding pick in next year's NFL Draft.
NFL.com will have details of the picks if any players are selected starting at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday. Former Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon has drawn the most interest and is the player most likely to be selected on Thursday.
Here is a list of the eligible players in the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft:
Quaylon Ewing-Burton, CB, Boise State
Josh Gordon, WR, Utah/Baylor
Adam Harris, RB, Syracuse
Adrian Haughton, OT, Iowa State
Larry Lumpkin, LB, Carson-Newman
Montez Robinson, DE, Georgia
Houston Tuminello, WR, McMurray/Louisiana Tech
Ed Wesley, RB, TCU
