What are the chances of me making the nfl?

Maybe but the chances are very low. Michael Lewis of the Saints was driving a beer truck when he tried out and made their roster. I don't know if he played high school ball or not

Remember nobody is drafted out of high school. You will have an uphill battle probably have to be a walk on in college and work your way up. Even the great high school players don't always make it to the pro's. Keep up the grades go to college play the game b/c you love it and if you have what it takes it will happen. But focus on a degree b/c one play in football can end a career.

The Bengals have a player, Ethan Kilmer, who got onto Penn State's football team as a walk on and got into the NFL after that. I'm not sure if he played high school ball. I don't think he played all four years. He is a really good special teams player and it's a great story.

Your chances are low...but so are everyone's. You'll have to pick up at least one sport (I'd suggest both track and basketball, possibly baseball) and get a spot on a college football team somewhere. From there, you'll have to pick up the team's playbook and absolutely excel on that team to get a shot in an NFL training camp. Once there, continued excellence will get you to the NFL.
Your chances of making the NFL are low...but are everyone else's.

Chances are very low. Not playing high school ball wil make it very difficult to play in college. You can try to walk on to a team but tht will be hard. If you don't play college ball You will not make it to the NFL.

Less than 1%. Sorry but it just doesnt happen very often. Even those who play high school football dont have a very high chance of playing college ball, and those who play college ball have an even lower chance of playing in the pros. There are 1800 players in the NFL. All of them played high school ball and nearly all of them played college ball.

Yeah, you would most likely have to go the college route. You can just walk on during college, and try to get a spot. There is also the possibility of walking on for an NFL, some have them on occasion, but it's kind of unlikely that it would work out that way. It's rare that somebody gets a roster spot.

you have to be good but if you keep at it there may be a chance. Im not talking about playing a couple days a week you have to play all the time until college. If you think you have enough talent and you train make yourself well known to scouts. If you know scouts then you have a better chance

Yes there is a chance, but you must play in college to have any sort of chance, and it is going to be hard to walk on and play football at a college and then get your name out there to all the pro scouts. You should transfer if you are that serious about playing in the NFL!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband is a college football coach and he recommends that you transfer to a high school with a football team.
Michigan4 has the right idea.
