The NFL will not hold a supplemental draft this summer, The Athletic reported on Friday.

The last supplemental draft was in 2023, when neither of the two players available was selected.

The most recent supplemental draft pick came in 2019 when the Arizona Cardinals took Washington State safety Jalen Thompson in the fifth round.

Typically scheduled in mid-July, the draft is for players whose eligibility issues kept them out of the regular draft.

A total of 46 players have been selected in supplemental drafts since its inception in 1977, including Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter in 1987.
