but there are plenty of examples of players drafted very high who served missions. If you are a prospect that can help an NFL team, your age won't stop you from being drafted.

It seems if you have the talent to play in the NFL, don't take 2 years off

Very true. Hamani Stevens was in the recruiting class of '08.

Most of that list are not very good prospects

Stevens and Salt would be. Salt is 27 though.

Yep. Stevens was a well regarded recruit. 3 stars on Scout. 4 stars on Rivals.

It seems you're also saying that no RMs bypassed their SR yr and were drafted. I

You're right, 0 Jr RMs applied for early entry into the NFL Draft in 2015

The other fact of returned missionaries is that they are 24 years old

As stated before on CB. Tanner Magnum and Jameis Winston were in the same elite

Show me the last 5 years sample size. Can't take too much off one season. I
