I guess I must be getting old because I can't find this information anywhere on the internet. So I will go with what I think is correct and answer with Mike Anderson who was 26 years, 6 months, 25 days old when he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 2000 NFL Draft (born September 21, 1973 - drafted April 16, 2000).

Does a player have to enter the NFL draft?

Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year. If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.

Does an nfl player have to accept the team that drafts him?

No. A team that drafts a player has one year to sign that player to a contract. If the team cannot sign the player because the player does not want to play for them, the team may trade the player to another team. If a drafted player has not signed a contract within one year of being drafted, that player may enter the draft again and be selected again.
