What Are The Chances Of Going To The NFL?

What are the chances of making it to the NFL? It’s a question that many aspiring young football players ask, and the answer may surprise you.

The Chances Of Going To The NFL

The chances of going to the NFL are not very good. According to the NCAA, there were only 1,696 players drafted into the NFL in 2018. That means that only about 2.3% of college football players will go on to play in the NFL.

The chances of making it to the NFL decrease even further when you look at high school football players. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, there were approximately 1,046,000 high school football players in 2017. That means that only about 0.16% of high school football players will go on to play in the NFL.

There are a number of factors that can affect your chances of making it to the NFL. These include your level of talent, your work ethic, and your dedication to training and conditioning. However, the vast majority of players who make it to the NFL are those who have worked extremely hard and have been extremely dedicated to their craft.

The Chances Of Going Pro In The NFL

Less than 2% of high school football players go on to play college football, and of those only a small number will be drafted by an NFL team.

Experts say the odds of making it to the NFL are about 1 in 100 for high school players, and about 1 in 10,000 for college players.

The Chances Of Getting Drafted In The NFL

The National Football League (NFL) is the highest level of professional American football. It was formed by eleven teams in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, with the league changing its name to the National Football League in 1922. The NFL is an unincorporated 501(c)(6) association of its 32 teams and is headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, with an official office in New Jersey.

Approximately one million high school seniors play football each year, but only 6.5 percent will go on to play at the collegiate level and just 0.08 percent will make it to the NFL. So, what are the odds of making it to the NFL?

The easiest way to answer this question is to look at the NFL draft. In order for a player to be drafted into the NFL, he must first declare himself eligible for the draft. Each year, there are approximately 250-300 players who are drafted into the NFL from colleges across the United States.

Looking at these numbers, we can see that the odds of being drafted into the NFL are approximately 1 in 1,500 for high school seniors who play football. However, this does not take into account players who are signed as undrafted free agents after the draft has ended. In recent years, there have been between 60-80 undrafted free agents signed by NFL teams each year.

When we include undrafted free agents in our calculations, we can see that the odds of making an NFL roster (either through being drafted or signing as an undrafted free agent) are approximately 1 in 300 for high school seniors who play football.

The Chances Of Playing In The NFL

The chances of playing in the NFL are very low. According to The New York Times, of the 100,000 high school football players in any given year, only 250 will go on to play in the NFL. That means that only 0.25% of all high school football players will ever play in the NFL.

The Chances Of Making The NFL Playoffs

In order to have a chance at making the NFL playoffs, a team must first win their division. There are four divisions in each conference, and each divisional winner earns a spot in the playoffs. In addition to the four division winners, two wildcard teams from each conference make the playoffs. The wildcard teams are the two best non-division winners. In total, 12 teams make the playoffs: six from the NFC and six from the AFC.

Chances of Going to the NFL
The National Football League (NFL) is composed of the greatest professional football players in the world. But what are the chances of making it to the NFL?

There are many variables that go into whether or not a player will be drafted into the NFL. The most important factor is college production. Players who put up big numbers in college will almost always get a look from NFL scouts. Another important factor is physical measurables. Players who are taller, faster, and stronger than their counterparts usually have a better chance of being drafted.

There are also a few non-physical factors that can increase a player’s draft stock. For instance, players who come from big-time college programs usually have an easier time getting drafted than players from small schools. This is because NFL scouts are more familiar with the players from big-time programs and because those players have usually been better coached and have more experience playing against high-level competition.

position also plays a role in draft stock. Players who play premium positions (quarterback, running back, wide receiver, etc.) usually have an easier time getting drafted than players who play less important positions (offensive lineman, defensive lineman, etc.). This is because there are only so many premium positions available on an NFL roster and because premium position players typically have more impact on the outcome of games than non-premium position players.

All of these factors--college production, physical measurables, position, and collegiate pedigree – affect a player’s draft stock. But perhaps the most important factor of all is luck. Even if a player checks all of the boxes scouts look for, he may still go undrafted if there isn’t an NFL team in need of his particular skill set or if he suffers a severe injury before or during his final season of college eligibility. In other words, sometimes it’s just not meant to be.

With all of that being said, what are the odds of actually making it to the NFL? The answer may surprise you…

According to research conducted by FiveThirtyEight, the odds of a high school football player making it to the NFL are about 0.2 percent--or 1 in 500. For comparison’s sake, the odds of being struck by lightning in any given year are about 0.00016 percent--or 1 in 600,000--so you’re about 30 times more likely to be struck by lightning than you are to make it to the NFL.

Those aren’t great odds, but they do show that it is possible to make it to the NFL if you’re good enough and lucky enough. So if you’re dreaming of playing in the NFL one day, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s impossible--because it isn’t!
