I'm not exactly sure.I can't think of any.
But I do know of a couple that graduated from high school in my town.
But that doesn't answer your question.
Sorry!

The NFL has a rule stating that you have to be at least three years out of high school before you can be in the draft, so the direct out of high school question is none.
However, there have been NFL players who did not play football in college. NFL teams have been known to take flyers on track stars to try and make into receivers. One of the better known track star receivers was Renaldo Neimiah of the 49er's, who was an Olympic hurdler. Brock Lesnar, the former WWE wrestler and NCAA wrestling champ, had a tryout with the Vikings, and the Jets or Giants just tried out a couple of NCAA wrestling champs. But rarely do the non-college football playing athletes make the team.

The only NFL player I can think of off the top of my head who got to the NFL without attending college is Darren Bennett, who was the punter for the Chargers in the 90s and early 2000s. And I think he was Australian or something, so he never attended high school in the US anyway. And yes, he was at least 3 years removed from high school when he entered the NFL. Other than that, all NFL players I know of went to high school and college.

That's a big zero! Although off the field some players don't act so mature, they need years of football experience and maturity to go to the NFL. No 17 or 18 year old running back has Frosty's chance of survival in hell to be any match for a 28 year old veteran LB.
Cheers!

None. The NFL requires players to be 3 years removed from high school before even being eligible. A rule that all professional sports should adhere to.

Charlie Powell. He graduated from San Diego High School in 1949(?) in San Diego, California. He played for the San Francisco 49'ers in the early 50's as a defensive end. He did not go to college. His younger brother (Art Powell) an All Pro played for the NY Titans and the Oakland Raiders in the AFL in the 60's and 70's.

None, but the youngest player to ever go in the NFL (at least in the first round) is Amobi Okoye, DT at age 19

I don't think any have. During the whole Maurice Clarett thing, I seem to recall hearing that the NFL has a rule that you can't enter the league until you are 3 years out of high school.

if you mean direct from high school to the NFL, none. They need to be graduated from high school for a minimum of 3 years
