No.

The NFL has a clause stating that to be eligible to be drafted, a player must have been out of high school for a minimum of 3 years. This however doe not mean the player has to play at college, but virtually every player has.

The 3 year clause is for the player's safety. Think about it, even the biggest guy in high school may be 6'3", and 230lbs. However, if the 3 year clause was not present, we would see 230lb rookies going up against 300+ lb linemen, and that won't be a pretty sight.

Therefore, no, no player has ever been drafted straight out of high school, some may have not gone to college, but all are at least 21 years old.

As of 2014, there has never been a high school football player to be drafted into the NFL. The NFL only drafts players that have been out of high school for 3 years or longer.

Can you go to Major League Baseball straight from high school?

Yes, high-school players get drafted into the NHL, but predominately in Minnesota. This is because high-school hockey in MN is at a much higher level than any other state with school hockey. These players don't often go straight to the NHL out of high-school. Many of them go to play NCAA Div. 1 hockey or go play in the CHL in Canada before going pro.
