First you have to make your highschool Football team ( Chances   1 in 2)  Then you have to start for your Highschool team and be a star ( chances 1 in 50).  Then you have to be Selected for a college team - scholarship ( Chances 1 in 50,000), then you have to start for your college team and be a star ( Chances 1 in 500,000).  Then you need to be picked  by the NFL draft or be picked up by a Free Agent contract ( Chances 1 in 800,000).\n\nThe odds of a class room full of kids, and one makes the NFL are the same as one child would win the Lottery ( 1 in 7-8 Million)\n\nSo the a good analogy for a elemtrary school class would be, that for every person living in your town, not a single one will make the NFL, all the people living in your town, only 3 might make it to college scholarship situation,  and then mabye 1 might be a star on his college team, but probably that one won't make the NFL.\n\nLet the kids Know that even the best athlete, can get HURT or injured in Highschool, or college football and never make the NFL because of their injury.\n\nThe lenght of time that an average person that plays in the NFL in only 3 years.  So even if they make it, the odds are it is not a Career.  They need education so that they can have a Great Job after their NFL carreer is over.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nEric\nFormer UVA Football Player

I think he could end up being a decent pro player. It depends on who drafts him. I would not expect much more out of him that I expected out of Young. Neither are likely to be able to lead a team. Look at Vick for instance. Whatever team gets him will have to make him a man, surround him with quality players and a solid O line. Otherwise his career won't be long.

look on each NFL teams wedbiste and see waht they got. Currently the saints aren't holding any but idk about other teams. Good luck\n\n\n Rosters in the National Football League are filled in a variety of ways. First, each team is a part of the NFL draft in late April. Immediately after the draft, undrafted college players are signed. All teams are involved in recruiting unrestricted and restricted free agents. With the vast number of players this involves, teams do not feel a need to sign players to NFL contracts who did not play in college, or those who did play in college and went undrafted or unsigned after the draft.\n\nPlayers coming directly out of high school are not eligible for the draft. Potential players must be in college for three years minimum. Those not going to college must sit out five years and as a result will lack playing background and experience. As a result, workouts are not granted.

The magic of the NFL is that anyone in it can become a star.  He needs to work on his hands, jumping, and speed.  If he addresses those issues he's got a shot, a slim one but still a shot.

Only if they have finished the academic requirements for their degree. However most do not earn a degree when leaving early to go to the NFL. Some do take classes once in the NFL in order to graduate.

They should have a shot. They came very close this year,but came one win short of winning their division. They have good recievers and great running backs, and with the New England lose to the Broncos in the playoffs, i think they'll be atop their division come 2006 season.

Go man Go!!! Get somebody else to pay for the beers.  Arena Football is a cross between back yard football, and hockey.  THe fans go wild and if the ball goes into the stands, you get to keep it... THAT'S a LEAGUE RULE...\n\n\nMost of the Arena League quarterbacks will end up in NFL training camps this year. Kurt Warner got his start with the IOWA BARNSTORMERS. Former Stanford quarterback Chris Lewis is with SAN JOSE and was just released by the 49ers. You'll see a lot of the WRs and DBs in NFL and CFL camps also.\n\nThe Arena League has a player developement contract with the NFL. Most of the coaches and executives of the league have NFL ties. GO MAN GO!!! \n\nI have been to AFL games in Chicago and Los Angeles and I was at ARENA BOWL 3...  Have a beer and catch a ball.

Choices are to declare for the NFL Draft by the Jan. 15 deadline, or transfer to a Division I-AA school so he can play next season.\n\nI bet he declares.

Bomar was not drafted in his senior year in high school.  I'm not quite sure he even played his senior year just because he was the highest rated quarterback recruit in the nation.  What I'm wondering is that if he doesn't reach his potential in football does he have a chance at baseball.  He might have been a high draft pick in the 2004 draft but his commitment to football scared away all the teams.  Interesting fact Bomar went to the same high school as Kerry Wood of the Cubs (Grand Prairie High)

NFL teams don't give tryouts to walk-ons.  You would need some insider to get you in for your existence to even be acknowledged.\n\nNot like college football or even those occasional baseball cattle calls.

He should go pro.  Someone will take a chance on him like the Bills did on Willis McGahee.  He has nothing left to prove in college.\n\n\nFor more on the NFL.......http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

It's not a major sport, and it's definitely isnt the NFL's minor league, NFL EUrope and college plays that role.  It's a fun little niche sport that really isn't to bad.

You're about 5'7" and maybe 125 lbs. (for those who don't do metric measurements) - you need to grow a couple of inches (or 5-6cm) and put on at least 60 lbs. (or about 25-30 kg) to even be considered for an NFL spot. Go see a doctor and a nutritionist before you attempt these things on your own. And you would probably have to work on your speed.\n\nNow if you want to play college football, you'll most likely have to catch on with a smaller school (not a Division I program), and if you are able to make tackles, you might be able to play on "special teams."\n\nIn short, you should make sure you have a back-up plan - even with small schools, the chances of making a team aren't great unless you have at least one phenomenal skill a team can use. Having "heart" will only go so far. Good luck.

The NFL has a rule that states you must be at least 3 years removed from highschool.  Thats the true rule--that means you do NOT have to play college football.  That is also why you don't see any college players jumping to the NFL after their sophomore years, unless they took a year off after highschool and are three years removed from highschool.  The one future loophole that the NFL faces is if a player finishes highschool at 16 by getting their GED could enter the draft at age 19.  The NFL would like to avoid this situation if possible.  There has been football players that came from the Arena Football league and Canadian Football league that did not play college football.  I think Darren Bennett the guy that was the punter for the San Diego chargers came from an Australian football team and did not play college football.  Thats about as much information I have for you on the subject.
