Governing NFL Rule Clarity: League rules governing player eligibility have been in place and remain unaltered. Under the NFL Constitution & Bylaws, once an athlete commits to or participates in NCAA competition during the ongoing autumn season, NFL clubs cannot execute standard player contracts, practice squad agreements, or waiver claims for that individual until the subsequent league year begins.
