    Six players from the Allstate BCS Championship Game -- including Alabama tailback Trent Richardson and LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne -- are among college football's underclassmen declaring for the NFL draft.

    They've got plenty of company.

    The two All-Americans are among a record 65 players who have been declared eligible for the April draft, a field that also includes Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and runner-up Andrew Luck as the top quarterbacks. Counting Richardson, the top three Heisman vote getters are all leaving early to start cashing NFL paychecks.
