∙ 2008-02-21 22:17:42first of all its football, not soccer, and there's no college to become a FOOTBALL player, you get picked up by clubs when your young and developed from youth
you dont always need college to be a football player but you have to go to college to play college football
at least two years of college
That depends; who are you? If you were a past college football player who wants to return after playing four years, sorry, but you cannot return to play college football after your 4 years of eligibility are up.
The average football player lasts 10 years assuming high school and college. The average pro player lasts 3 years.
Only one.
The NFL rules state that in order to be eligile for the NFL draft a player must be three years past their high school graduation, which is a typical players junior season in college (or sophmore season if that player was red-shirted). There is no requirement that a player has to play college football to make the NFL, but it certainly helps. It is extremely rare that a player with no college experience makes an NFL roster. The players that do are usually athletes in other sports that transition to football.

It depends what college you are going to.
No not anymore. Football requires every player to be in a college or university for a minimum of 2 years
you just have to complete 3 years of college, including junior college
