Military academy players are required to serve 2 years active duty before they can play in the NFL. Between 2019 and 2024 that rule was waived but starting this year it was changed.

Limited Exceptions: The Department of Defense may authorize up to three cadets or midshipmen per service academy to defer active duty for professional sports, though they must still meet stringent requirements.

Yes it's possible but what are those stringent requirements?

I'm not certain but I believe it has to do with still being required for the selected reserves. Meaning; he could be activated during wartime.

I honestly think that the round in which these guys get drafted heavily determines the "limited exceptions"

I looked it up. It is up to the Secretary of Defense to make the final decision. Up to 3 players from each academy can apply. They're required to participate in recruiting efforts during the off season and are still required to serve active duty when their career ends.

Landon Robinson — 3x Feldman Freaks List (No. 13 this year), AAC DPOY, ECAC DPOY, multiple 1st/2nd Team All-American — 700 lb squat, 465 lb bench, 33+? vert, 20+ mph — gets ZERO Combine invite? Complete tragedy and a really rough reflection of the scouting process for whoever is… pic.twitter.com/kXkqYNc9yh

Who cares? It wouldn't be his job. Bring him in for nickle and let him feast.

I was looking at replacements for Kevin Givens. A twitched up hyper athletic disruptive designated pass rusher and was always coming back to Zane Durant. But the more I see of this guy the more I like.

If we can get a speed guy off the edge like R Mason Thomas, Cashius Howell or Joshua Josephs in round 2 and one of Zane Durant, Landon Robinson or Skyler Gill Howard in round 4 we will be in good shape.
