Websites that show when a player declared for the NFL draft (1 Viewer)

I'm trying to find the best website that can definitively tell you when a player declared for the NFL draft. Hoping to get some help on this one.

I would never say that Wikipedia should be used as a single definitive source of info but in this case, as a starting point, its not bad. You can look up any current NFL player and find out very easily which year they entered the NFL draft. Further investigation if required can always confirm it to be true or not but its a good starting point. I haven't found another site that has the info so readily available.

I'm hoping there is something better out there. Most of the other sites will tell you how many years a player has been in the NFL. Myfantasyleague for example will tell you easily when a player was drafted but for UDFA's, it becomes more of a mine field.

A good example why I need this information is MIA LB Cameron Wake. Most sites I know will tell you he has 2 years in the NFL. To a degree, this is correct. Wake though was an UDFA from the 2005 draft and spent time with the Giants before heading to the CFL in 2007. Now if anyone can come up with a better website than Wikipedia that tells me the above info easily, it would be fantastic.

Nothing wrong with Wikipedia when it comes to facts. They are weak on opinion, but for what you are looking for I think they will be the best source, unless you want to google the player and figure it out yourself.

thanks for that, it's an encouraging start. Ideally we don't want to have to keep googling the player to confirm the data.

Not sure if this site will help, but DraftHistory.com is a good place to start looking.
