Zero...the NFL does not draft players directly out of high school, to be drafted you must be at least 2 years out of high school. The youngest player ever to get drafted was Amobi Akoye, 19, in 2007 as a junior.

No. Attending college is not a requirement. Players are drafted from both high school and college. Some players drafted in high school choose to attend college in an effort to get into a lower draft round. Typically, the lower the draft round, the more money the player makes. Also, some players not drafted in high school attend college in hopes of being drafted.
