No unfortunately not, they stopped the direct draft from high school between 20-30 years ago. Now the rules state that for a player to be eligable to participate in the NFL as a rostered player, they must have attended and been drafted from a college or university.

No one has ever gone to the NFL right after high school because it is not allowed. The NFL rules say that a player cannot be drafted until his high school class has been out of high school for three years. This means a player who graduates in 2009 cannot be drafted until 2012 so it is usually only juniors and seniors who are drafted. Some players who are red-shirted like Michael Crabtree come out after there sophomore year but it is still three years after they graduated high school.

No. The NFL rules state that a player has to be at least three years removed from his high school graduation. This became an issue a few years ago when Ohio State's Maurice Clarett tried to enter the draft only two years after his high school graduation. Clarett sued, and the NFL won.

No, there is a 3 year waiting period after high school. Some argue it should be changed while others argue it should not be change so players are encouraged to go to college
