Answer

Going to college just increases your chances of being discovered by scouts. Some players have not attended college, or didn't even play football in college. Teams have try outs which anyone can attend.

There is no specific college you must attend. Getting good grades and playing experience are more important than the name of the school. NFL players have come from many colleges, including from the Ivy League and Division III, though it's typically less common.

There is no "educational requirement" to play in the NFL. However, three years must have passed since your high school class graduation before you may enter the NFL Draft or sign with an NFL team. You are not required to have played any kind of organized football during that time, collegiate or otherwise.

Every high school and college have their own rules and regulations regarding requirements with classes to play football. There are not usually specific classes needed to become a football player. However, there usually is a standard grade point average needed to stay a football player.

You need to go to college if you want to play in the NFL. It's possible to get "special consideration" from the league to declare for the draft before you graduate (like Jameis Winston and Johnny Manziel did), but without it there are four routes to NFL eligibility:1) Graduate from college - the most common path

2) Run out your college eligibility without graduating - which isn't common because if you stay in school four years and you maintain a GPA that'll satisfy the NCAA, you'll be eligible to graduate

3) Wait five years after your first college game

4) Wait four years after your last high school game


As fussy as NFL teams are about players, the safest way to become NFL eligible is to graduate college.
