Dreams of an NFL Career? Have a Backup Plan

Some sobering stats about making it to the NFL.  Encourage your student-athlete to hit the books this fall!
 
High School Senior Football Players: 310,000

Percent of High School Players to the NCAA:  6.5%

Percent of High School Players to the NFL:  0.08%

Percent of NCAA players to the NFL:  1.7%

NCAA Football Players Drafted to the NFL:  254
 
...so out of roughly 310,000 high school football players, only 254 will be drafted into the NFL four to five years later.  And out of those 254 many will be cut before the first regular season game.
