Yes you do.
Your effort in college is what gets you to the pros.

Good luck and good skill

Not to be a dork, but really Probably not. Do you realize that there are approximately 400 million people that live in the U.S. Lets cut out half of that population (women) and you're down to 200 million. Now, let's cut that number by about 80% that should give you the entire pool of people who would be eligible to play in the NFL (Males 22-34 years old). and that number is 40 million. THERE ARE LIKE 1600 PLAYERS IN THE NFL. YOUR CHANCES OF PLAYING IN THE NFL ARE ALMOST ONE IN A MILLION. YOUR CHANCES OF PLAYING EVEN AT A MID MAJOR COLLEGE LEVEL ARE EXTREMELY SLIM. Why am I yelling and being a dork, because I want you to realize how important your education is. Make sure you prepare yourself for a job in the real world, because more likely than not that's where you'll be. I want you to make every effort to make the NFL, but realize that you have to be ready for life as well. JUST HAVE FUN PLAYING FOOTBALL, AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT BIG WRITE ME AN EMAIL TELLING ME WHAT A LOSER I AM sorry for being so harsh, but I'm doing you a favor Good luck.

Its going to be tough, you will either have to have extreme natural talents or a great work ethic. I would encourage getting into some type of flag football to learn passing and timing first.

Depending on the position you wish to get into as well, you'll need to start some pretty intense training over the next couple years as well. High school ball is one thing but college competition will be intense. Start looking into what school you'd want to go to and even reach out to the coaches for some interviews.

Good luck!

Great goals young man, but here's the deal; it's all about talent, speed, strength, heart & drive. As Troy Aikman said in his speech this year when he was being inducted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, "every boy dreams of becoming a pro football player & entering into the H.O.F. but 'very few' actually ever make it. I'm living my dream."

But do 'YOU' have a chance? Well what position do you play? What's your size (weight & lbs). What's your strength (do you lift weights? if not you MUST!). What's your 40 yard dash speed. Do you poccess the interal drive to push yourself to your absolute limit, & then push more?!

Chances are slim for anyone trying to make the NFL. Only about 250 players are drafted each year and about 100 or so more undrafted players are invited to camp. Only about 70% of them make the active rosters. You're lack of experience is a major strike against you, but if you've got the talent you can make it.

Everyone has a chance but you have to put more effort into playing cause some players will have played since junior high and be more known so there could be favortisim. But go for it you wont know till you do it.

NFL? Good luck. I'm guessing here but approximately 1,440 people play in the NFL. But it could happen. You work hard enough, avoid injury, get lucky and have enough talent then yes, you do have a chance... Good luck!

well you should first join the team then consider college and nfl. less then 1% of athletes that want in the nfl make it. Dream the nfl, work hard, but have something to fall back on that will also help you succed in life
