Your draft year typically refers to the year when you are eligible to be selected in a professional sports draft, which varies by sport. In the NHL, for example, players are usually drafted at age 18, while in the NBA, players can declare for the draft after turning 19. In the NFL, athletes are eligible for the draft three years after high school, usually around age 21. Therefore, the specific age for your draft year depends on the sport and its eligibility rules.
