Best Answer

Through the 2009 season, 466, most of whom played during the early days of the NFL. Since 1950, 43 players without college experience have made NFL rosters.

There was 1 NFL player in 2009 that did not attend college, that being Philadelphia Eagles punter Sav Rocca. Rocca is from Australia and began playing in the Australian Football League upon graduating from high school.

Other recent NFL players without college include kick returner/wide receiver Michael Lewis who played seven seasons (2001-2007) for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers. He was named All-Pro in 2002 when he led the NFL in both punt return yardage and kickoff return yardage. Lewis had several jobs after high school and was driving a beer truck when he began playing semi-pro ball in 1998. He moved up to the Arena League and then NFL Europe before securing a full time spot with the Saints in 2001.

Punter Darren Bennett spent 11 seasons (1995-2005) with the San Diego Chargers and Minnesota Vikings. He was also named All Pro. Bennett is also from Australia and began playing in the Australian Football League out of high school.
