How old do you have to be to be in the NFL?

Answer 1

You cannot declare for the draft unless you are at least 18 years of age. Example of terrible answer^^^^ The user removed my 100% accurate answer for this unsubstantiated answer. Improved answer: As I had originally posted, the NFL's requirement is not age specific. You can only declare for the draft 3 years after you graduate high school. 20 year old Maurice Clarett was denied, while 19 year old Amobi Okoye was accepted.
