It definately helps but there are several guys who have played in the NFL that did not attend an American College. Chirstian Okoye was from Nigeria and never even played football before entering the NFL.

No but you have to be 3 years removed from your senior high school to be eligible for the NFL draft. You don't have to be drafted to play in the NFL either. Tony Romo was an undrafted free agent.
There have been only a few players that have played in the NFL (recently) that did not attend college. Eric Swan from the Cardinals/Panthers is the only example that comes to mind right now.

what??? NO! people come from all over the world and play in the NFL, some don't even attend college anywhere...they are called walk-ons, people that are not recruited, but they earn a try-out with a team. If you r good enough to make a team better, the team will pay you to play, no matter where you are from.
