With the bowl season winding down, chatter about who\u2019s staying behind at the college level and who\u2019s declaring for the NFL draft is on the rise. Let\u2019s have a look at some noteworthy players and catch up on their statuses.<\/p>\n

ANDREW LUCK, QUARTEBACK, STANFORD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: staying in school<\/p>\n

The projected first overall NFL draft pick appears to have chosen another year at Stanford over the Carolina Panthers. I have to wonder, though \u2013 now that Jim Harbaugh has left for San Francisco, is there any way the 49ers can coax the Panthers into trading the top pick and convince Luck to declare?<\/p>\n

RYAN MALLETT, QUARTERBACK, ARKANSAS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

Ryan Mallett, the big signalcaller from Arkansas, announced this week that he\u2019s turning pro. Is he a potential top-five pick, especially with Luck staying behind?<\/p>\n

CAMERON NEWTON, QUARTERBACK, AUBURN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: unknown<\/p>\n

We likely won\u2019t find out anything from Heisman Trophy winner Cameron Newton until after the BCS Championship. Perhaps if he wins it all he\u2019ll feel there\u2019s nothing left to accomplish in college.<\/p>\n

BLAINE GABBERT, QUARTERBACK, MISSOURI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

Is this the new projected No. 1 overall draft pick? Scouts already had Gabbert bumped up as high as second in the quarterback rankings and we know that Carolina has thought about taking another quarterback. But would Gabbert be an overrated top pick?<\/p>\n

MARK INGRAM, RUNNING BACK, ALABAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

Mark Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, is making the smart move and turning pro before his body takes any more punishment. Will the power runner be a first-round pick or are running backs a dime a dozen now?<\/p>\n

LAMICHAEL JAMES, RUNNING BACK, OREGON<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: staying in school<\/p>\n

James, who has a 3.01 grade-point average, cares about his education. He announced in December that he wants to finish his degree before leaving Oregon. How much money is he leaving on the table? The nation\u2019s leading rusher could have a lot of wear on his tires if he spends another year as the Ducks\u2019 featured back. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JULIO JONES, WIDE RECEIVER, ALABAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

The tough Crimson Tide receiver played through pain this year to top 1,100 yards and will have plenty of suitors early in the 2011 draft.<\/p>\n

A.J. GREEN, WIDE RECEIVER, GEORGIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

The 6\u20194\u201d beast missed the first four games of 2010 but still finished with 57 catches for 848 yards and nine scores. He could be the first receiver taken and could be a very high pick.<\/p>\n

MARCELL DAREUS, DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, ALABAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

Could Dareus, who starred in Alabama\u2019s BCS title game win over Texas last year, be a top-10 pick? Some people believe the dominant pass rusher will be.<\/p>\n

JANORIS JENKINS, CORNERBACK, FLORIDA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: declaring for NFL draft<\/p>\n

Jenkins\u2019 status may be subject to change? He\u2019s recovering from a torn labrum. He may get more money if he returns to Florida healthy and has one more big year in college before declaring.<\/p>\n

PATRICK PETERSON, CORNERBACK, LSU<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current Status: undecided<\/p>\n

Peterson projects as a very high first-rounder, likely the first defensive back to be chosen. As of Monday, he said he hasn\u2019t yet decided if he\u2019s declaring. Is there a team that needs him more desperately than the Houston Texans?
