The Supreme Court refused Thursday to let 20-year-old Maurice Clarett into the NFL Draft this weekend.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she saw no reason to overturn a lower court's stay preventing the former Ohio State running back from being picked.
Clarett is fighting the NFL's requirement that players wait three years after high school before turning pro.
The NFL said in a filing with Ginsburg that it could be unfair to the team that picked Clarett, and ultimately to a player who loses out on that spot.
