Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year.
If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.

The vast majority of NFL players played in high school, then college before being drafted or signed onto an NFL team.
