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.
