The odds aren't great, but they're far higher than they are for becoming a pro basketball player.
Every team in the NFL has a 53-man roster and 8-man practice squad. That makes 61 people on each team. There are 32 NFL teams, so at any given time there are 1952 NFL active players.
Today there are probably about 100 million people in the US who you'd consider "kids," so that means that the chances of a kid making it to the NFL are about 50,000 to one, or a worse.
Keep in mind also that there is the AFL, the afl2, the NFL Europe League, the Canadian Football League, and a few unaffiliated minor leagues running around.

I'd say if you're interested in football, the odds are better than that of any other sport that you will have a chance to play in the NFL. When you think about it, there are more than 22 starters on a given football team. 11 on offense, 11 on defense, and some on special teams. In baseball, there are nine starters, ten in the AL, and all except the DH play both ways. Same can be said for basketball, five on each side, and hockey, six on each side. They also play both offense and defense. The numbers say your odds are good.

NFL teams can only have a 53 man roster when the season starts. There are 32 teams. 53 x 32=1696. There are millions of kids in the U.S., so I'd say the odds are pretty slim.
